Miramichi River Valley is an incorporated rural community in the Canadian provinceofNew Brunswick. It was formed through the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reforms.

History

[edit]

Miramichi River Valley was incorporated on January 1, 2023.[1]

The mayors of Blackville[2] during its time as an incorporated village from 1967 to 2022 included:

  1. Lawrence Stephens (1967-1969)
  2. Harold Connors (1969-1971)

Economy

[edit]

Miramichi River Valley's economy was once tied to the forest industry. A large sawmill that employed 200 workers had been operated in the village by industrial conglomerate UPM Kymmene, but it closed in 2007 as a result of economic pressures.

Miramichi River Valley is home to a single financial institution, Blackville Credit Union. It is the oldest of its kind in New Brunswick.[citation needed]

Blackville School, grades K - 12, is a public school in the community. This is the only grade school in Miramichi River Valley, with students occasionally transporting to other Miramichi schools instead (Such as Miramichi Valley High School).
