Description From Owner:
- In the 1850s the place was called City Camp for the profusion of lumber camps in the area. The place was named for John McAdam (1807-1893), MLA from 1854 to 1866 and 1882 to 1886 and MP 1872 to 1874.
- In 1869 the place was McAdam Junction and in 1940 the name changed to McAdam.
- The three-storey McAdam Railway Station was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway between 1900 and 1911 of local granite, in a style resembling a Scottish castle.
- Today it is a National and Provincial Historic Site housing railway artifacts, visitor information and local crafts.
- Toby Guzzle : Was probably named by lumbermen in the 1800s because it was difficult to get logs out of it. The surveyors of the Magaguadavic R. in 1797 used 'guzzle' in their field book for a tiny stream emptying into a lake.
