Rothesay's history dates back to 1860, when
the town was settled as a shipbuilding centre
and an ideal location for summer homes and
cottages for Saint John's wealthy inhabitants.
In 1998, amalgamation saw the communities
of East Riverside-Kinghurst, Fairvale, Ren-
forth, Rothesay and Wells form one town
under the name of Rothesay. The five com-
munities are represented in the town's mot-
to, Quinque Iuncta In Uno, which translates
to Five United In One.
Often referred to, and self-proclaimed as a
'bedroom community' to the nearby city of
Saint John, New Brunswick, Rothesay has
become a leading residential choice in the
province due to its low tax rates, plentiful
recreation options and proximity to ameni-
ties offered by Saint John.
"One of the things we promote Rothesay
as is a great place to live, raise your family
and have recreation facilities," says Mayor of
Mike Kean Photography
