[edit] St. John River a Bible Belt?
Did you know this area is labelled as being a Bible Belt? Stettlerj 21:07, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Probably confusion with the Florida St. John's river
Probably no confusion. I've heard the "upper Saint John River Valley" (i.e. Woodstock and area) referred to as the Bible Belt of New Brunswick a few times, though I doubt it belongs in this article. Kirjtc2 20:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] St. John vs Susquehana
This article lists the St. John as being the second longest between the Mississippi and the Saint Lawrence, after the Susquehanna_River.
However, it lists the length of the St. John's River at 418 miles, while the article on the Susquehana lists its length at 410 miles, which would make it the longest, a claim I've heard made for the Saint John's.
However, other sources such as [this] list the Susquehana as being longer (447 miles), which would make it the longer river.
Either way, one of the two is wrong, either this is the longest river in that stretch, or the Susquehana is longer. aapold
[edit] Name
It's the Saint John River. I do some mapping work for the New Brunswick government and it's always spelled that way. Kirjtc2 14:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
