Berry Mills, New Brunswick

Berry Mills is a small community in Maple Hills, New Brunswick.

[1] It is located northwest of Moncton in a valley between Lutes Mountain and Steeves Mountain, and around the main Canadian National Railway line, which was formerly the Intercolonial Railway of Canada line.

The community was founded by, and named after, Jonathan Berry who settled there in 1812 and established a water powered sawmill on land which he was granted.

[3] Berry Mills once hosted two separate rail lines through the community: When the Canadian Government nationalized these two railways to form Canadian National Railway, the two lines were connected via junctions to the east in Moncton, and west at Pacific Junction.

The rails were subsequently lifted and the two lines rationalized in this area, using the alignment of the former National Transcontinental Railway.
