Rothesay


“In 1851 Rothesay was a convenient stopping place on the coach road between Saint John and Halifax. It’s nine-mile from the city and proximity to the Kennebecasis River guaranteed it a role in the development of transportation and commerce. It’s pleasing locale was already drawing seasonal residents. However, it was the coming of the railroad in 1858 that ensured the transformation of the area known variously as Nine Mile House, Scribner’s Corner or Kennebecasis.”
