Description From Owner:
  • In 1826 the place was called Howardsville for Sir Howard Douglas (1776-1861), Lieut.-Gov. of NB from 1823-1832.
  • The post office operated as Cains River from 1885-1919. In 1919 it was named Forks and an effort was made to have the place named Forksville, but the official name became Howard.
