The landscape around Moncton is a low-lying tidal-river plain along the Petitcodiac River, which has shaped both the city’s layout and local economy. The river is known for its tidal bore, a wave that can travel upstream as Bay of Fundy tides push inland. Moncton developed into a major railway centre in the 19th and 20th centuries, a legacy explored at the Transportation Discovery Centre in Resurgo Place. The city is also an important Acadian cultural centre in Atlantic Canada, while nearby Magnetic Hill remains a well-known roadside attraction.
