History
Miramichi's history dates back to the early 18th century when it was settled by Acadians and later by Loyalists. The city grew as a lumbering hub, capitalizing on the abundant forests and the river's resources, which shaped its economy and culture.
The name 'Miramichi' comes from the Mi'kmaq word meaning 'place of the micmacs.' Over the years, it has evolved into a vibrant community, balancing its historical roots with modern developments, making it a unique destination in New Brunswick.
