Lepreau, — C. Parish est. 1859; settled first at Lepreau Village by Loyalists in

 tled by them; later a prosperous mill-village grew up at the fine falls 

 at the mouth of the river, which was largely abandoned on the destruc- 

 tion of the lumber on the river by fire before 1870. (C. L. R.; loc. inf.).
