[qanonq] origins of SETTLEMENTS IN NEW BRUNSWICK 121 



Campbellton, — R. Settled first by a French village (of unknown name), with 

 later a trading post at Walker's Brook, and in 1776 by two families 

 of Aberdeen fishermen employed by Shoolbred for the Restigouche 

 salmon fishery. From this time on it was occupied by various Scotch 

 immigrants, who came to this region in slowly increasing numbers 

 (see Restigouche). After 1815, with the development of the lumber 

 trade, it began to grow into a village (Martin's Point), which after 

 1832 took on a rapid growth forming a considerable town, from which 

 time it has grown steadily and is now the centre of the lumber trade 

 of the Restigouche. Incorporated 1889. (Loc. inf.; Cooney, 215; Herd- 

 man, Restigouche; Johnston, I, 397).

 by an American company, who purchased it in 1881 from the heirs 

 of the original grantees. (Its history has been fully written in Coll.
