Geography
Moncton is located in southeastern New Brunswick in the Petitcodiac River valley, along the north bank of the river at a point where it bends from a west–east flow to a north–south direction. The early Acadian settlers in the region named the area "Le Coude" (French for "The Elbow"). Moncton was originally at the head of navigation up the Petitcodiac River, but a causeway to Riverview was built in the 1960s, causing extensive infilling by sedimentation of the river downstream. The river is no longer navigable by large craft.
Moncton is at the geographic centre of the Maritime Provinces; for this reason and because it historically was the railway "hub" for the Maritime Provinces, Moncton is nicknamed the "Hub City".
