Howard Settlement, — Y. Now called Canterbury Station. Early combined 

 native expansion and immigrant (Irish) settlement formed about 1825 

 by expansion from the St. John river. (Ward, 65; Johnston, N. A., 

 I, 49: Gesner, 170). 



Howardviile, — N. Former town laid out at the mouth of Cains River in 1825, 

 and occupied in part by Irish immig-rants. With some business as a 

 lumbering centre it had 22 houses in 1832 (Cooney, 121). but it has 

 since become simply a farming- settlement. (History in Chatham Advance, 

 early in March, 1897). 



Howe, Fort, — J. Erected in 1778 to help protect the St. John river settle- 

 ments from privateers during the Revolution, and dismantled soon after. 

 (Hist. Sites, 327). 



Howland Ridge, — T. N.B. and N.S. Land Company settlement, formed about 

 1875, apparently by expansion from older settlements. (Loc. inf.) 



Hughes, Fort, — S. Block house, built in 1780 at the mouth of Oromocto as 

 a protection against possible Indian attacks and, perhaps, from possible 

 invasion by the old portag^e route of the Oromocto, but soon abandoned. 

 (Hist. Sites, 327). 



Huskisson, — Kt. Parish est. 1826. A parish apparently entirely without 

 inhabitants. 



Indian House, — .T. See Indiantown. 



Indian Island, — C. Prosperous fishing settlement, originally settled by the 

 French as La Treille. Its permanent settlement begins in 1763 with the 

 settlement here of New England fishermen and traders. (History by 

 Vroom in Courier, XXXVII, XXXVIII; Lorimer, History of Islands, 73; 

 Coll N.B. Hist. Soc, I, 162; Hist. Sites, 323, 332). 



Indian Island, — G. Small Indian reserve (Micmac) of 16 acres, purchased for 

 the Indians November 26, 1895, and with a small permanent settlement.

 ment, but of the Roman Catholic Bishop of St. John. (Rept. Department 

 of Indian Affairs, 1901). 



Indian Mountain, — W. Native farming settlement, apparently an expansion 

 from Luiz Mountain about 1840. (Loc. inf.). 



Indian Point, — N. Small (Micmac) Indian reserve of 100 acres, opposite Red

 Ind., CX). 



Indiantown, — J. Early trading post, est. in 1779 as the "Indian House," for 

 trade with the Indians. Its position above the falls at the mouth of 

 the St. John makes it the natural port for river traffic, and a settle- 

 ment here has increased steadily to the present. (Hist. Sites, 326). la 

 1786 a part of Portland, and since 1889 a part of St. John. 



Indiantown, — N. Modern village, probably on the site of an Indian settle- 

 ment, and apparently formed after 1800 by settlers from various sources.
