Bartibog River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bartibog River (also spelled Bartibogue) is a Canadian river in New Brunswick.
The Bartibog River rises in northeastern Northumberland County and flows east and south into the Miramichi River at Bartibog Bridge, NB.
The Bartibog River watershed is entirely rural, dominated by forests and small farms in the communities of Bartibog Bridge, NB, Russellville, NB, Bartibog, NB, and Bartibog Station, NB.
The promontory on the east bank of the Bartibogue where it meets the Miramichi is called Moody's Point. It is the location of one of the oldest Roman Catholic Churches in the Miramichi Valley, Sts Peter and Paul's, dating from the 1850s.
The lower stretches of the Bartibogue were settled by people from Scotland, arriving from the 1780s onward. They were of mixed Catholic and Presbyterian background. A number of Irish families and several Acadain families settled later.
The river is tidal below Russellville, NB.
