Salisbury & Three Rivers
Salisbury and Three Rivers are neighbouring communities in Southeastern New Brunswick. Both the municipalities were formed in 2023 through provincial civic government reforms, where Salisbury includes the former village of the same name and neighboring rural areas, while Three Rivers includes the former village of Petitcodiac and neighboring rural areas.
Understand
editSalisbury, known as the "Home of the Silver Fox", is a small town that has a history as fox farming community, a special mutation of fox with grey/white fur, which was imported, was commonly bred in the many area fox farms. While no fox farms are known to operate locally some wild foxes now share these genes.
Three Rivers is a village that was formed in 2023 through the amalgamation of the village of Petitcodiac and neighbouring incorporated rural areas. Petitcodiac is still used as an official name and is the main built up area of Three Rivers.
