Salisbury, New Brunswick

Salisbury, New Brunswick (2006 pop.: 2,036) is a Canadian village located in Westmorland County, New Brunswick.

The village's population meets the requirements for "town" status under the Municipalities Act of the Province of New Brunswick, however its municipal status has not been changed.

Salisbury is situated on the north bank of the Petitcodiac River, approximately 25 km west of Moncton. Salisbury is called the "Home of the Silver Fox", in reference to its role in adopting Silver Fox farming during the early 20th century (as was Alberton in Prince Edward Island).

Salisbury is a local service centre for several farming communities which are being transformed into commuter communities in the Petitcodiac River valley. The village has a volunteer fire department and RCMP detachment, as well as the country's finest schools for K-12.
