Hartin Settlement is a small rural community in western York County, New Brunswick, Canada.

The settlement is named for Thomas Robinson Hartin Sr. Reverend, who encouraged people to settle in this area in 1865.

[1] The petition by Thomas Hartin to found the settlement was signed in 1862 by Surveyor General, John McMillan.

Because he could not be identified by the coroner, a description was posted in the Press Newspaper on 8 December 1886: "Deceased was about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and about 65 years of age.

He wore a brown reefer, lined with blue flannel, no vest, colored pants, blue woolen outside shirt, plaided homespun inside shirt and drawers; he had on an old pair of boots, and wore a brown woolen cap.

[7] This unknown male was the first to be buried in the Hartin Settlement Cemetery, because no one could determine his religious denomination.

[9] On 11 September 1875 he & his wife gave 600 acres of their land for the building of Holy Trinity Church in Canterbury, which is still in existence and active today.
