Nestled along the Petitcodiac River in southeast New Brunswick, Salisbury is only 25 km (16 mi.) from the city of Moncton and was first incorporated in 1947, and later incorporated as a village in 1966. Although there have been changes since the days when the 18th-century Yorkshire settlers first took up land here, the river and forests surrounding Salisbury still grace the horizon, much as they did in the early days. A significant amount of dairy farming and lumbering activity continues in the area today, as it has since the early 1900's.

It's encircled by two covered bridges, a lighthouse and public gardens.
