21世纪新策略——外国市长的新思维

New Strategy in 21^st Century： New Thinkings from Foreign Mayors

蒙克顿这个座落在珀蒂克的克河湾的早期阿卡迪亚人的聚居地，如今已成长为一个繁华的大都市。1755年阿卡迪亚人被驱逐出境，从此，这个地区就杳无人烟。直到1766年，8家人从宾夕法尼亚州移居到这里。这个城市得名于一个英国士兵的名字，罗伯特·蒙克顿上校。1855年蒙克顿已组建成为一个城市，但在1862年被迫交出宪章。其后，随着蒸汽铁船的诞生，当地的繁荣也随之结束（注：当时当地长于造木船）。1877年，“跨殖民地铁路”也就是“加拿大国家铁路”的前身将总部建立在这里，蒙克顿新的繁荣时代也随之到来。1875年蒙克顿市再一次重新组建，当时的标语是“Resurgo”（拉丁语意为重新崛起）。1890年4月23日，蒙克顿市正式建立。

Moncton has grown from an early Acadian settlement located on a bend of the Petitcodiac River known as Le Coude. After the deportation of the Acadians in 1755, the settlement lay empty until 1766 when eight immigrant families arrived from Pennsylvania. The City is named after the British soldier, Lt - Colonel Robert Monckton. Although it was incorporated as a town in 1855, Moncton was forced to surrender its charter in 1862, as the birth of steam and iron ships brought a quick end to local prosperity. A new era of prosperity came to the settlement with the location of the headquarters for the Intercolonial Railway in 1877, forerunner of Canadian National Railways. In 1875, Moncton was again incorporated, with the latin motto Resurgo （＂I rise again＂）. Moncton became a city on the 23rd of April 1890.
