On behalf of Village Council and the residents of New Maryland, I welcome you to our official website.
I am honoured to serve our community alongside a dedicated Village Council that brings together years of municipal leadership with fresh perspectives. As a Council, we look forward to working collaboratively on your behalf to serve the needs of our residents and ensure our community continues to thrive.
The Village of New Maryland has a population of approximately 4,500 and is located on the southern border of Fredericton, New Brunswick’s capital city. Originally incorporated in 1991, our community is proud of its excellent local services, including the New Maryland Elementary School and our dedicated volunteer Fire Department, which provides outstanding protection and peace of mind to our Village.
Our engaged residents and exceptional community spirit make New Maryland a truly special place to live, work, and grow. I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our local services, upcoming events, and Village initiatives.
