Encyclopedia > Centreville, New Brunswick

It has been said, "Centreville is in the centre of it all". We beg to differ. Quite to the contrary, Centreville IS the centre of it all! No matter what it is you look for in a community equal in size to Centreville, we've got it.

 Centreville is a community driven by culture. We are well known for our participation at the provincial level in drama productions. In recent years, the Centreville School and our adult drama group have performed many plays written by Barb Dingee, a retired school teacher. 
 There are non-profit organizations in the community which work to serve the people. The Royal Canadian Legion, Ladies Auxiliary, Kinsmen & Kinnettes Club, Royal Purple, Elks, Women's Institutes, Co-Op Preschool and Access Centre all have homes in Centreville. If you're in the area and want to play golf, Covered Bridge Golf & Country Club is just down the road in Hartland, about twenty-four KM from the village limit. 
 What Centreville is really about though is industry. Per capita, we are by far the industry capital of New Brunswick. Large companies like Thomas Equipment, B. W. S., and Metalfab help to keep Centreville competitive! 
 Lodging isn't hard to find near Centreville. Quiet spots to stay are near by. Cedarbrook Bed & Breakfast is on the 560 just outside of Centreville, Tracey Mills Inn/Bed & Breakfast is between Centreville and the US border, about three KM from the flashing light in Centreville. Outside the area are The Florenceville Motor Inn, McNutt Bed & Breakfast along with Beachwood Motel, which can provide accommodations. 
 Centreville really IS the centre of it all. From churches, to drama, to industry, to shopping, we have what it takes to serve our local residents, visitors, and neighbours.
