Description From Owner:
  • The name was provided in jest to a surveyor by a man called Ryder, presumably because the road was tortuous.
  • The name found its way onto an official plan and was put to use. From 1843-1883 and from 1900-1919 a Damascus post office operated here.
  • With permission from 'New Brunswick Place Names' David E. Scott 2009
