[ganongI origins of SETTLEMENTS IN NEW BRUNSWICK 109 



natural souroes of power into value, not only rendering New Bruns- 

 wick's inniumerable water-falls available, but especially the immense 

 tides of the southern coast. I have no doul)t that the enormous power 

 developed by these tid.es will some day, and before long, be utilized, 

 and that many prosperous manufacturing settlements will arise along 

 our southern coast from Passam-aquoddy to Chigneeto, wthile some of 

 the world's greatest manufactories may yet arise there. The settlements 

 of the future in the Province of New Brunswick will centre in her 

 good lands, in her chief water-powers, river and tidal, and in the outlets 

 of her luraiber trade. 



Fart HI. — A Synopsis of the Origins of the Individual Settle- 

 ments OF New Brunswick alphabetically arranged, with 

 References to the Sources of their History. 



In the following List I have aimed to give for every settlement, 

 past and present, in New Brunswick, a statement of the leading facts 

 in their origin, and references to the various printed works in which 

 their history is considered. But the work, in fact, falls far short of this 

 ideal, partly because of practical limitations in its execution, and partly 

 because for very many settlements, no printed or other records appear 

 to exist, and I have been unable to obtain reliable information about 

 tkhem from other sources. But it is a beginning, and a foundation for 

 further study. 



In many cases it has been difficult to decide which name should 

 be adopted for places wihich have more than one, since the names of 

 settlements, of their post-offices and of their school districts, are much 

 confused. In such cases I have usually chosen the local name for the 

 settlement itself where it has one, and. have treated it under its parish 

 where it has not, and I have only used the post-offioe names where it 

 has been necessary to distinguish a part of a settlement. I have not 

 attempted to give here the origins of the names of the settlements, 

 since this subject is treated in part in the earlier Monograph on Place- 

 nomenclature, and the names not there considered will be discussed in 

 the addenda to the present series, later to appear. 



In this list each settlement is necessarily treated individually and 

 very briefly, while lack of space prevents any reference to those larger 

 events which have influenced its origin in common with the origins of 

 others more or less nearly related to it historically. These facts are, 

 however, given in Part II., and the reader should look back to the 

 pages of that part indicated by the context. Since the great 

 majority of New Brunswick settlements are determined by farming.
