Connors is in "the panhandle" just where New Brunswick, Quebec, and Maine all come together, near the Saint John River which forms the boundary of Canada and the US at this location.
Many Irish and other ethnic groups settled in this heavily forested area in the 19th century, along with folks from nearby Québec.
Connors is a place where people made their living from forestry rather than farming.
Many of the younger people on both sides of the border have been leaving for better job prospects in bigger cities (Bangor or Portland, Maine, or Montreal and Quebec City, or Fredericton and Saint John, New Brunswick, and sometimes even Halifax, Nova Scotia).
The community was connected to the Quebec Central Railway in 1908,[1] a rail service which has since become defunct.
