Campbellton

Campbellton is a town in northern New Brunswick situated between the Appalachian Mountains and the Restigouche River. The community spreads across forested valleys with waterfront areas creating a mixed landscape of natural features.

The region began as a French trading post around 1700 before Scottish immigrants arrived and built industries based on fur and salmon. The settlement became an incorporated town in 1889, marking its transition from an early trading center to an organized community.

Scottish settlers left their mark on the community through organizations and artistic spaces that reflect their heritage. You can see this influence in local events and exhibitions that show the region's creative output.

The town is accessible by Via Rail services and highways that connect to other centers in the region. Visitors can easily explore the local area and reach surrounding destinations through these transportation links.

The area was the site of the Battle of Restigouche in 1760, the final naval clash between British and French forces in North America. This historical moment shaped the region and offers visitors insight into a turning point in continental history.
