Dieppe

Dieppe (2001 population 14,951) is a city on the Petitcodiac River in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada. It has an area of 49.85 km² and a population density of 299.9/km². Dieppe is part of the Greater Moncton Area, which also includes Moncton, and Riverview. Although once a bedroom community, Dieppe is now the fastest growing city in New Brunswick. Many large and small companies now operate from the Dieppe industrial park. Notables include Armour Transport, J.D. Irving, and Master Packaging, and Dieppe is also developing its own downtown core.

Originally known as Léger Corner, Dieppe received its present name upon incorporation in 1946 in honour of the Canadian soldiers killed in the 1942 raid on Dieppe, France.

In 2003 Dieppe was officially upgraded from a town form of government to that of a city.

Located in Dieppe is Champlain Place, the largest mall in the province (also the largest single-story mall east of Montreal); Crystal Palace amusement park; and Greater Moncton International Airport, the busiest airport in the province.
