Synopsis
Carleton County's story blends education, industry, and community into New Brunswick's history.
This edition traces how local schools and parish trustees shaped early learning, from free tuition to rural school duties and the chance for students to document their own past. It also looks at how the region’s leaders and magistrates managed public life, education, and local governance in a time of change.
Readers will also see the county’s growth in industry and travel, from lumber and farming to the arrival of steam and the first rail lines. The text highlights agricultural societies, libraries, and a developing town life in Woodstock, along with the shifting borders that once divided neighboring lands.
- How early education was funded and organized, and what that meant for families.
- The role of local magistrates in shaping schools and parishes.
- Stories of industry, transportation, and civic institutions that fueled growth.
- Regional context, including boundary issues and community development in Woodstock and surrounding areas.
Ideal for readers of Canadian regional history who want a grounded look at how a single county helped shape a province.
