 Introduction: Nitpickers are invited!

This book is a work in progress and while researching it

I was able to catch and correct a number of errors in the first
edition. I'm grateful to the readers of that first edition who were
kind enough to take the time to help correct other errors, or to
add additional information to some of the place names.
There are always bound to be facts that are questioned,
because history is just that: his story. And there are
always more than one side to each story
So amateur and professional historians, genealogists,
history buffs and those who delight in finding nits to pick may
have a wonderful time prowling through this book to locate
errors, flaws, oversights, redundancies, discrepancies, omissions.
In researching this book every effort was made to achieve
historical accuracy and to explain the origin of every place listed.
Sadly, little or no information could be found about some
communities even though there must still be people living in
some of the younger places who could recall the early days and
such details as the origin of the place name.
Any historian or historical society (or any nitpicker!) in
possession of information that could fill any of the many gaps in
this book is urged to share it with me. I'll include it in a subse­
quent updated edition of New Brunswick Place Names and also
pass your information along to the keepers of the province's
historical records.
This new information will thus be available for the enrich­
ment of this and future generations and by acting as a go·
between, I'll be repaying in some small measure their kind
assistance to date.

 Acknowledgm ents

A number of writers "broke trail" for my effort to provide

an inexpensive thumbnail history of New Brunswick places and
the origins of their names. For their enormous help I thank
them, without it I would likely have fallen by the way-side
probably very early in the alphabet!
In 1997, historian William B. Hamilton, professor emer­
itus in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Mount Allison Univer­
sity, published the 502-page Place Names of Atlantic Canada.
Hamilton was a former chair of the Toponymic Research Comm­
ittee of the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical
Names.
And of enormous help have been the files of the Provincial
Archives of New Brunswick and their keeper, Gilles Bourque,
Manager of Tourism, Heritage and Culture Org. Unit= Toponymy
(Unit), Fredericton. I am also indebted to all those writers whose
books and names are listed in the Bibliography section at the
back of this book.
Any errors is this book will be mine not their's. And
I'm confident and hopeful readers will help me set the record
straight for the next edition.

 A personal note
Some may question why a person with an Ontario address
has the presumptuousness to write a book about New Brunswick
and the answer is simple, We can't all live where we'd prefer
to!
My love affair with "The Picture Province" began in the
mid·1950s when I spent two years as a boarding student at
Rothesay Collegiate Institute. That affection grows with each
returning visit, now too numerous to mention. Many return
visits were to cover federal elections as a newspaper reporter·
columnist and later to explore the province as a travel writer­
photographer and later, guide book author.
Even "locked" into the boarding school I managed to
explore quite a bit of southern New Brunswick on holiday week·
ends when roll calls were infrequent and a chum could be talked
into answering my name at roll call. Another miscreant and I
would hitchhike Gt was then an acceptable mode of traveD as far
as Moncton, Fredericton or St. Andrews and many points in
between.
There are also fond memories of sneaking out of dorm in
the middle of the night with co-conspirator Bob Teed so we'd be
in position at daybreak to cast our dry flies for trout in the
swamps several miles behind the campus. When we finally got
caught, then· Headmaster Charles Bonnycastle decided sufficient
punishment would be to surrender our morning's catch to him.
Thereafter we kept him well supplied with fresh trout and inter·
estingly, were never subsequently missed at room inspections or
roll calls . while we were fishing.
I hope the many delightful New Brunswickers who have
been kind and helpful to me enjoy this book about your really
wonderful province.

MINI-BIO: JAY COCHRANE

Record-setting tightrope walker

The world's greatest tightrope walker ran away from home in Saint
John to join the circus. Jay Cochrane, born in Saint John in 1944 is still
walking tightropes despite an early fall that left him a paraplegic for
four years. He has set a number of records: the longest distance, 4 km
back and forth on a 91-metre (291 ft.) wire between Toronto's Hockey
Hall of Fame and Canadian Grandstand; the longest time spent on a
wire, 21 days perched above Puerto Rico in 1981 and the highest and
longest wire walk of all time in 1995, taking 53 minutes to cross a 765-
metre-long (2,448 feet) wire 488 metres (1,562 feet) above China's
Yangtze River. In Las Vegas he walked blindfolded across a wire
between the towers of the Flamingo Hilton for 300 feet. In 2012 at age
68, he made 81 walks high across Niagara Falls raising money for a
children· s charity

factory, saw and grist mills, a tannery, sash and door factory, a furniture fact­
ory. two churches and 500 residents. Albert became part of Riverside-Albert.

Murdered for a $ 1 O gold watch

Albert County's only hanging was in 1906 when a young handyman was
convicted ofkilling the local priests's sister in order to steal her gold
watch valued at $10. Father Edward McAuley's sister Mary-Anne was
murdered in the church rectory Handyman Tom Collins was arrested
near St. George on h is way to the U.S. and had the watch in his possess­
ion. lt took three trials before Collins was found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged. The first verdict of guilty was overturned because when
the judge was giving instructions to the jury he told them the case
against Collins was fully proven. This judicial misdirection was a first
in Canadian legal history At the second trial, seven jurors believed
Collins innocent and five did not. All the publicity generated made it
difficult to find an impartial jury for the third trial, but after 120 people
were examined, a jury was found. That jury found Collins guilty. The
only request made by Collins was that he be hanged in daylight. That
happened the following year behind the small jail at New Ireland on a
makeshift gallows. Within a month Father McAulay died from the
heartbreak and strain ofthe long trials.

Birthplace of Hon. Frank McKenna ( 1948-) 27th premier of New Brunswick.

MINI-BIO: FRANCIS "FRANK" MCKENNA

His election win made Canadian history
The first time he ran for the office of New Brunswick premier, Frank
McKenna won every seat in the legislature. He was the fourth of eight
children born in I 948 to a farming family in a village just west of
Sussex in Kings County. The children wouldn't all fit into the
McKenna home so Frank was one of the children raised in the adjacent
home of his grandparents. Because most politicians are lawyers,
McKenna earned a law degree from the University of New Brunswick.
His big break came only three years out of law school when he
successfully defended New Brunswick folk hero, boxer Yvon Durelle,
against a charge of murder. McKenna believed a decade was long
enough for a premier to hold office. so he resigned exactly IO years
after being elected and moved smoothly into the life of big business.
He resigned his business connections in 2005 to become Canada's 21 st
Ambassador to the United States, a post he resigned a year later after
Stephen Harper was elected prime minister. McKenna has since been
urged to run for the leadership of the federal Liberal party. Polls
showed he could beat Bob Rae 23-11 and John Manley 28- I 3, but
McKenna says he will not change his "long-standing resolve" to leave
public life for good. "I reminded myself of my vow upon leaving office
that, having escaped the trap, I wouldn't go back for the cheese."
McKenna and his wife Julie have three children and seven grand
children and live in Cap Pele in Westmorland C. and Toronto.

105, 4 km N of Perth-Andover. The place took its name from the river when the
post office opened in 1854. The name may derive from the Maliseet designation
of the St. John River and is first shown on a 1699 map as Arassatuk, translated
as "good river for everything." The Aroostook River valley was the centre of
a boundary dispute between Maine and New Brunswick in the 1830s and early
l 840s due to imprecise wording in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. A series of
incidents culminated in 1839 with the massing of troops on both sides of the
border. War was averted but the skirmishes are remembered as the''Aroostook"
or "Lumberman's War." The dispute was finally settled in 1842 by the Webs­
ter-Ashburton Treaty which defined the present New Brunswick-Maine border.
In 1871 there were 400 residents. It was incorporated as a village in 1966.

Astle [H-8] In Stanley Parish, York C. on Route 8, 5 km SW ofBoiestown, 34
km SW of Doaktown. Named after early innkeeper Capt. John Astle. First
reference to the place was made by Lt.-Col. Joseph Gubbinson during a tour of
New Brunswick militia units, 1811-13: "I halted at an inn kept by Captain John
Astle. The whole house consisted of one large room but he partitioned off a
corner of it with a curtain for my accommodation. Militia titles do not convey
great ideas of rank or respectability in this quarter of the world." From 1885-
1940 the place was called Averys Portage after first postmaster Alfred B.

at the mouth of the Restigouche River on Route 11, 4 km W of Campbellton.
Robert Ferguson (1768-185 l ), from Logierait, Scotland, came to this area in
1796 and became a leading merchant and shipbuilder. He named his ship­
building operations Atholville after his home which he called Athol House,
likely inspired by Blair Atholl near his Scottish birthplace. Athol House was
destroyed by fire in 1894. A point projecting into the Restigouche River at
Atholville is named Ferguson Point and a place on Route 275 about 15 km SE
of Campbellton is named for Blair Athol. Early post offices used the names
Shives Athol and Ferguson Manor before settling on Atholvillc in I922.

MINI-BIO: ROBERT FERGUSON

Created a county to maintain his status
He was born in Scotland and came to New Brunswick in 1796 as chief
clerk for the mercantile firm established by his brother Alexander. Robert
Ferguson (1768-1851) took over the business after his brother died in
1803 and by 1805 he was the leading merchant and exporter of fish in the
Restigouche region. He became the largest land owner, had the only saw
mill and grist mill on the river and exported timber He was a justice of
the peace, a militia officer and judge. He built Athol House and a store
which became the business centre of the Restigouche and sold building
lots in what was to become Campbelltown. In 1831 he became one of the
commissioners charged with laying out the first road to link New Bruns­
wick and Upper Canada. By the 1830s Irish immigrants and the Acad­
ians began challenging Ferguson's virtual monopoly on just about every­
thing so he pressed for the creation of a new county in which he could
retain control and preserve his status. Thus was born Restigouche C.
and Ferguson became known as "the founder and father of Restigouche."

like stone and copper-roofed visitor centre operated by Parks Canada
offers a video of the siege of 1755, a model of the fort, historic paintings
showing garrison life and a display of artifacts gathered over the 75 years
the place has been a museum. The fort was built on a ridge near Aulac
overlooking the salt marshes of the Isthmus of Chignecto, the land link
between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It was reinforced for the War
of 1812, abandoned in 1835 and declared a national historic site in 1926.
