Rothesay (2001 pop.: 11,505) is a Canadian town located in Kings County, New Brunswick.

Geography

Rothesay is located 17 kilometres east of Saint John and is named after Rothesay, Scotland.

Located along the lower Kennebecasis River valley, Rothesay borders the city of Saint John to the southwest, and the neighbouring town of Quispamsis to the northeast.

History

In response to a sprawl problem (and provincial government cuts in municipal grants), several municipalities in the lower Kennebecasis River valley were amalgamated on January 1, 1998 by the provincial government. Rothesay was selected as a candidate for amalgamation with several smaller communities, namely:
  • Rothesay
  • Renforth
  • East Riverside-Kingshurst
  • Fairvale
  • Part of Wells
Following amalgamation, the town adopted a new coat of arms which incorporates symbols of all five amalgamated communities and bears the motto Quinque iuncta in uno ("Five united in one").

The town's population meets the requirements for "city" status under the Municipalities Act of the Province of New Brunswick, however the community has made no attempt to change its municipal status.

Trivia

  • Rothesay is the home of the prestigious university-preparatory school, Rothesay Netherwood School.
  • Rothesay is, per capita, one of the most economically prosperous areas in the country as a result of several extremely wealthy families residing in the community.
  • Rothesay is home to the Kennebecasis Rowing Club, a rowing club that has been training athletes to compete at a national and international level.
  • The variable pitch propeller was invented in Rothesay by Canadian aviation pioneer Wallace R Turnbull. His interest in engineering began toward the end of the nineteenth century and his invention of the variable pitch propeller in 1927 revolutionized aircraft design.
