Description From Owner:
- Gilfred Studholme (1740-1792) was the first settler in 1786 and for a time the place was called Studville, Studholm and Mouth of Millstream.
- In 1858 commissioners of the European and North American Railway named the place Apohaqui, taking the name from the Maliseet meaning 'Junction of two streams.'
- (The name is pronounced 'a-po-hawk'). The community is the birthplace of the Hon. Francis Joseph (Frank) McKenna (1948-), premier of New Brunswick from 1987-1997.
- McKenna's government reforms created surplus budgets and debt reduction and he was responsible for the creation of many new jobs in the province.
