Pennfield, New Brunswick

New Brunswick Tourism Region : Fundy Shore

Description From Owner:

In 1784 some 190 Quaker Loyalists from Pennsylvania founded a community they called Bellevue on the Fundy Coast. The place now is called Beaver Harbour.
A lack of fertile soil and a disastrous forest fire forced them to move inland to a plateau they called Penn's Fields and later Pennfield Ridge to honour William Penn II ( 1644-1718) an English Quaker leader and son of Sir William Penn I ( 1621-1670),
after whom King Charles Il named the State of Pennsylvania.
This community was first called Prescott's Corners, Pennfield Centre and Pennfield Corner, but has been Pennfield since the post office opened in 1857.
Tierney Point Winery at Hawkins Farms is just outside town at 69 Route 785 and offers blueberry, cranberry and strawberry rhubarb wines.
