St. George, New Brunswick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. George, nicknamed "Granite Town", is a town in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada, located on the Magaguadavic River between Passamaquoddy Bay and Lake Utopia; and 70 kilometres west of Saint John. As of 2001 the population was 1,509. ¹
The town was founded by Peter Clinch, a United Empire Loyalist who emigrated from the United States in 1784. Several granite quarries operated in the 19th and early 20th century.
The Magaguadavic River flows through the town and into a large gorge at St. George, with caves in the cliffs on either side.
