History

Dalhousie is the shire town of Restigouche County and dates European settlement to 1800. The town did not gain prominence until after the 1825 Great Miramichi Fire swept through Maine and Central New Brunswick, and destroyed the forests that were the mainstay of that region's economy. After that fire, lumbermen started looking north for timber, and they found it in the Restigouche region.
