| The Parish of Canterbury, which was set up in 1855, from lands once
assigned to the Parish of Dumfries, and the remaining unassigned land westward
towards the border of Maine. Much of this unassigned land today makes up
the Parish of North Lake which was formed in 1879. This area is extremely
rural and cut off from major settlements within New Brunswick, but a lovely
setting. Its main route of communication in the early days was via the
rivers, and later by train. The inland areas seemed to have gravitated
toward the south western portion of New Brunswick, rather than the Saint
John River route to Fredericton.
Special thanks should be given to Arletta
Hill Sullivan, who has started me off with some lovely photos and
a great deal of data, of the local churches and a former pastor - her maternal
ancestral family. These items are marked with a red star: |
