History

In 1867, farm land with perhaps only one two houses existed in the area. One of the earliest settlers in Sunny Brae was Alexander Wright who came from Scotland and it was suggested that he gave it the name "Sunny Brae". In the 1870s, Rev. Stephen Humphrey owned most of the farmland and it was subdivided into lots known as the Russell survey. The lots were gradually taken up by settlers.

In 1904, Sunny Brae was a community with a post office, two stores and a population of 200.

Sunny Brae was an incorporated as a township from 1915 to 1954, when it amalgamated with the city of Moncton.[1]

The neighborhood is served by the bus line 61 Elmwood of Codiac Transpo.
