Robertville is an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.[1]

Education
The elementary school of Robertville is École La Croisée de Robertville ("La Croisée" is French for "The Crossing", referring to the four corners intersection where the school is situated and was named by a student (Jason Mansour) after he won a contest to find the school a name).
French speaking people from Robertville (and the surroundings) generally go to École Secondaire Népisiguit (ESN - The French Highschool) in the City of Bathurst, and the few English people from Robertville (and the surroundings, predominantly in Bathurst) go to Bathurst High School (BHS).
History
Established in 1884 by a Roman Catholic priest by the name of François-Antoine Robert, its residents are predominantly francophone.
Sports
In January 2013, Robertville was awarded their first hockey franchise, The Robertville Richibuctos. The Richibuctos play their home games in Saint-Laurent ND, NB which is a small un-incorporated area of Northern NB. Although they have yet to actually play 1 game they are highly touted and expected to perform at a high level of play. The team chose the Richibuctos name for Richibucto, New Brunswick, another N-B community with citizens that closely mirror their own.
