Moncton is one of the largest cities in New Brunswick and a major economic centre in Atlantic Canada. Located along the Petitcodiac River, it forms part of a metropolitan area that includes the neighbouring communities of Dieppe and Riverview.
The city developed historically as a railway hub and later expanded into transportation, commerce and service industries. Its central location within the Maritime provinces has helped it become an important distribution and logistics centre.
Today Moncton is known for its bilingual population, modern infrastructure and growing business sector within Atlantic Canada.
