Description From Owner:
  • The place was settled in 1810 by Carrs and Smiths from Rhode Island and Niagara who named their settlement New Niagara.
  • At that time, Niagara in Ontario was pronounced 'ni-a-ga-ree. ' On an 1810 land petition the name is shown as New Gary. Geary is believed to have evolved from the old pronunciation of Niagara.
  • With permission from 'New Brunswick Place Names' David E. Scott 2009
