Location of Arthurette in New Brunswick
Arthurette is a Canadian farming community in Victoria County, New Brunswick.[1] It is located on the Tobique River halfway between the villages of Tobique Valley and Perth-Andover. The community is located where the Route 109 and Route 390 change banks of the Tobique River.[2]
The community was named after Arthuret in Cumbria, England by Arthur Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Baron Stanmore, who was lieutenant governor of New Brunswick from 1861 to 1866.[3]
There was once a covered bridge, but it was destroyed during the spring freshet on April 22, 1950. A replacement bridge was also swept away during a fall freshet on November 6.[4]
