Bath, New Brunswick
Bath is a former village on the Saint John River in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. It held village status prior to 2023 and is now part of the town of Carleton North. Bath was originally called Monquart, after the stream on its northern boarder, and to this day the residents of the area affectionately refer to themselves as "Monquarters".
Bath is famous for the annual "Bath Fall Fair" which took place every Labour Day with a parade and fair and to end the night fireworks.
When Bath was first settled by Europeans, it was mostly soldiers after the War of 1812 who came to farm the area. At that time it was known as Monquart. It wasn't until 1868 that the community was renamed Bath, after the city in England. During that first century the residents of Bath were largely dependent on the St. John River as means of communication with other areas in the province, hydropower and transportation. When Canadian Pacific built the railway across the country, Bath, like most remote communities suddenly connected to the rest of the country, changed drastically. Residents of the village were now able to travel via rail instead of the river. This new access brought growth to Bath with a new retail stores, an axe factory, four hotels, a post office, and blacksmith shop opening as a result of the railway.. By 1904, Bath had 1 post office, 8 stores, 2 hotels, 2 sawmills, 1 grist mill, 3 churches and a population of 350.
Bath was incorporated as a village in 1966.
On 1 January 2023, Bath became part of the new town of Carleton North. The community's name remains in official use.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Bath had a population of 440 living in 192 of its 223 total private dwellings, a change of -7.6% from its 2016 population of 476. With a land area of 2 km2 (0.77 sq mi), it had a population density of 220.0/km2 (569.8/sq mi) in 2021. Revised census figures based on the 2023 local governance reforms have not been released.
Similar to much of the central St. John River Valley, agriculture is the main industry in Bath. There are three farms within village limits and many farms in the surrounding settlements.
Bath has many small business, which are its heart and soul.
