Rivière-Bleue

Rivière-Bleue (French pronunciation: [ʁivjɛʁ blø]) is a municipality in Quebec with more or less 1500 inhabitants.

They were in fact pioneers from Scottish descents coming from the United States and others from Saint-François-de-Madawaska, New Brunswick.

The Catholic mission was founded in 1874 under the name of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rivière-Bleue, and the postal office opened in 1910.

The National Transcontinental Railway and the station were crucial to the village’s development: travellers, goods, and forestry and agricultural products came and went by rail.

On January 4, 1914, the first train stopped at the station, on its way from Edmundston, New Brunswick.
