Kings County GenWeb  New Brunswick - Canada

Sussex is a small town in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada. It's about half way between Saint John and Moncton, located in the southern part of New Brunswick. A Bit of History

In William B. Hamilton's -  Places and Names of Atlantic Canada, Sussex was named in honor of Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773-1842), sixth son of King George III and Queen Charlotte. Any resemblance between England's Sussex and our own appears to be a happy coincidence.
Sussex's first settlers were from New England (another "England"!), and were later augmented by loyalists. The parish was established in 1786, and the town incorporated in 1904.
