Hartland, the smallest town in New Brunswick, with a population of about 902, has a varied and interesting history. It was known as “Mouth of the ’Guimac” until it was officially changed to “Hartland” about 1870. Some say it was named in honor of Rev. Samuel Hart, an early Baptist minis- ter; others say it is in honor of James Hartley, an early surveyor; while others say it was named because it was “the heart of the county.” Its early settlers were loyalist with William Orser and his six children being the first settlers. William’s first wife died and he married Mary Blake 7:00-9:00pm Corporate Tug of War ($40/team of 4 males and 4 Craig, who also had six children.

16 Explore . . . 2010 New Brunswick Travel Guide In the centre of Harvey at the village office, see a giant fiddle - erected as a tribute to the late Don Messer (1909 - 1973), the legendary Down Harvey East fiddler whose much-loved television variety show was once the most popular program on Canadian television. He was born in the Small Town, Big History nearby community of Tweedside. Bring your canoe or boat, then relax and practice your fishing at Harvey Lake, known for its quality small-mouth bass or take part in the annual fishing derby. Harvey has several shops and cafes to enjoy home-cooked meals and home baked goods and in-season local produce. The market also features two floors of antiques and collectibles, charming local arts and crafts, a flea market, and public rest rooms. Visit the Briggs & Little Woolen Mill, Canada's oldest woolen mill, since 1857. The Village of Harvey is a warm- hearted vibrant community located just 47 kilometers southwest of Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick. First settled in 1838 by a group of 16 Scottish families, Harvey is steeped in history with many of the early buildings still in exis- tence and some say the spirits of these earlier residents are still present as well. Harvey was once well known as a railroad town and a great farming area, having been dubbed the Jersey Capital of Canada. Farming has now been largely replaced by residential development and many light industries have found it a supremely satisfactory location as Harvey is only minutes away from the Maine Border at Vanceboro, making it viable to set up for import/export. One of the earliest industries in the area was established in York Mills in 1857. This still exists as the Briggs and Little Woolen Mill and fine yarns are exported internationally to the U.S., Europe, England, Australia and other countries. Many of the existing general merchandising outlets had their roots in the late 1800’s and are still in operation as general stores, food services and convenience outlets. Moving ahead approximately 150 years, the families of this area are kept informed of the community activities by the “Lionews”, one of the many services provided by the local chapter of Lions International. Youth are kept busy attending many numerous functions, including a Girl Guide Movement, 4-H Club, Army Cadets, school-sponsored sports, and youth church organizations. Some of the local residents indicate that they never get a chance to stay home, as there is something to do every night. Harvey is only minutes away from King’s Landing Historical Settlement, Canada’s #1 tourist attraction. Visitors to our communities are welcome to stop at the unique gift shops and stores and participate in the many year-round activities. In the winter, people can be found ice fishing, curl- ing, cross country skiing, playing hockey or out on the approximately 60 miles of groomed snowmobile trails maintained in the area in the summer, residents and visitors utilize the many lakes in the area for boating, fishing, swimming and water-skiing. Should you wish, you can just park your “home on wheels” or rent a cottage, relax and enjoy the panoramic scenery and perhaps, catch one of the many local artisans at work, as tours of most of the manufacturing outlets are available at your request. Harvey is a great place to visit and many visitors have decided that they would like to live here.
