Sussex is a town in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada, located about 70 km north-north-east of Saint John.
History
The town of Sussex became incorporated in 1895 after the construction of a railway and a highway though the area, but it was only officially established on April 30, 1904. The settlers were for the most part British Loyalists who had fled the American Revolution in 1776. The economy of Sussex has declined recently with the closure of a potash mine and with the Trans-Canada Highway moving straight between Fredericton and Moncton; it had before detoured slightly to go through Sussex. The economic decline has caused a proportional decrease in population, with many young people leaving for work.
