Saint John, New Brunswick

Canada's oldest incorporated city, on a bay with the highest tides on Earth.

Saint John is a port city in New Brunswick, where the Saint John River meets the Bay of Fundy. Incorporated in 1785, it is the oldest incorporated city in Canada. The bay's tides, the highest in the world, are strong enough to push the river backwards twice a day at the Reversing Falls Rapids.
