Pemberton Ridge is a rural community in North Lake Parish, York County, New Brunswick, Canada.
In the early 1860s it was called "Skedaddle Ridge" because of settlers from Maine who fled there to avoid draft into the American Civil War.
The community had a post office from 1872 to 1877[1] and thereafter relied on services in Forest City, as well as rural delivery.
While the larger centers of Canterbury, (34 kilometres) or Danforth (30 kilometres) provided access to the Canadian Pacific Railway, as well as other commodities such as farm supplies and consumer items, Forest City was the service centre for the community.
Predominantly Baptists by faith, meetings or services as they were sometimes called, contained an aura of quiet tranquility and not given to emotional renditions, testimonial or otherwise.
