Best Answer

"The Picture Province."

We're considered the most beautiful, because we're a mix of all the other provinces put together.

Towering hills,

Jagged cliffs,

Never ending prairies,

And scenic beaches.

New brunswick has no nickname... what sane person would call the place they live Newie or Brunsie

It's called the "The Loyalist Province" primarily because so manly Loyalists settled there after the American Revolution.

Originally the territory included in modern New Brunswick was part of Nova Scotia. The American Revolution from 1775 to 1783 resulted in a large influx of Loyalist settlers, and agitation arose for the creation of a new province. On September 10, 1784, the partition took place and the "name was chosen as a compliment to King George III (1760-1820) who was descended from the House of Brunswick." Earlier proposals for naming the new province were: New Ireland (suggested by William Knox, Under Secretary of State, but rejected "because Ireland was out of royal favour"), and Pittsylvania, for William Pitt, then British prime minister.
