Saint John, 1877-1980
In its 225 years of existence, Saint John has undergone numerous transformations to become the city it is today. In 1783, an influx of American settlers resulted in upwards of 16,000 residents, and by 1867, the city was the fourth largest in Canada. The most catastrophic fire in the cityas history came in 1877, resulting in the loss of some 1,600 homes and businesses. Many of the structures were rebuilt and are still standing today, contributing to the cityas Victorian character. By the 1950s, historic structures began to disappear in the name of progress, and a huge urban renewal development was carried out in the 1960s. Saint John: 1877a1980 highlights the many changes the city has seen over the years, through photographs of its neighbourhoods, play places, tourist attractions, and residents.
