蒙克顿(Moncton,发音: /ˈmʌŋktən/)是加拿大新不伦瑞克省威斯特摩兰县的一个城市,位于该省东南部,座落珀蒂克的克河(Petitcodiac River)畔。蒙克顿处于加拿大海洋省份的中心地带,因此发展成该地区的陆路运输枢纽,并得“枢纽之城”(Hub City)的外号。据2011人口普查所示,蒙克顿市内有69,074名居民,而都会区人口则达138,644人,是全国人口增长速度最高的普查都会区之一。
欧洲裔移民于1733年首度进驻蒙克顿一带,而来自宾夕法尼亚的德裔美国人则于1766年在此建立居民点。当时蒙克顿为一农业社区,但该带的造船业于19世纪中叶陆续兴旺,而蒙克顿亦于1855年建制为镇。然而,造船业于1860年代转衰,蒙克顿亦于1862年失去其城镇资格。1871年,加拿大殖民地际铁路将其总部设于蒙克顿,刺激该带经济,蒙克顿亦于1875年恢复建制,再于1890年升格为市。加拿大国家铁路公司的蒙克顿车厂于1980年代末关闭后,区内经济再度受创,但后来仍能复苏。时至今日,蒙克顿的经济趋向多方面发展,除了运输、物流和零售等传统行业外,也被教育、医疗、金融、资讯科技和保险等行业支撑。

Moncton (/ˈmʌŋktən/; French pronunciation: [mɔŋktœn]) is the largest city in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Situated in the Petitcodiac River Valley, Moncton lies at the geographic centre of the Maritime Provinces. The city has earned the nickname "Hub City" due to its central inland location in the region and its history as a railway and land transportation hub for the Maritimes.
The city proper has a population of 71,889 (2016) and has a land area of 142 km2 (55 sq mi). The Moncton CMA has a population of 144,810 (2016), making it the largest city[8] and CMA in New Brunswick, and the second-largest city and CMA in the Maritime Provinces. The CMA includes the neighbouring city of Dieppe and the town of Riverview, as well as adjacent suburban areas in Westmorland and Albert counties.[9]
Although the Moncton area was first settled in 1733, Moncton is considered to have been officially founded in 1766 with the arrival of Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants from Philadelphia. Initially an agricultural settlement, Moncton was not incorporated until 1855. The city was named for Lt. Col. Robert Monckton, the British officer who had captured nearby Fort Beauséjour a century earlier. A significant wooden shipbuilding industry had developed in the community by the mid-1840s, allowing for the civic incorporation in 1855, but the shipbuilding economy collapsed in the 1860s, causing the town to lose its civic charter in 1862. Moncton regained its charter in 1875 after the community's economy rebounded, mainly due to a growing railway industry. In 1871, the Intercolonial Railway of Canada had chosen Moncton to be its headquarters, and Moncton remained a railway town for well over a century until the closure of the Canadian National Railway (CNR) locomotive shops in the late 1980s.
Although the economy of Moncton was traumatized twice—by the collapse of the shipbuilding industry in the 1860s and by the closure of the CNR locomotive shops in the 1980s—the city was able to rebound strongly on both occasions. The city adopted the motto Resurgo after its rebirth as a railway town. The city's economy is stable and diversified, primarily based on its traditional transportation, distribution, retailing, and commercial heritage, and supplemented by strength in the educational, health care, financial, information technology, and insurance sectors. The strength of Moncton's economy has received national recognition and the local unemployment rate is consistently less than the national average.
