Sackville, New Brunswick

Very near the provincial border to Nova Scotia, Sackville is now a university town (Mount Allison) with several entrepreneurial businesses. Pre-colonial era it was the Siknikt region of the Mi'kmaq and during the French colonial period it built several villages that cohabited among the Mi'kmaq inhabited areas. After the Acadian expulsion, British colonists started inhabiting the area and the township of Sackville was established in 1765.

George Stanley, designer of the Canadian flag, was a longtime resident of Sackville. Below is a statue with a fierce bandanna.

 There is a robust weekly market, several restaurants, two bookstores, game store, and wonderful marshland park. There are also many historical sites nearby and Amy's Used Bookstore in Amherst (largest used bookstore in Atlantic Canada) is a short drive away.
