Description From Owner:
  • The place was first called Five Fingers for the brook which flows NW into Little Main Restigouche R. and was likely named by a surveyor in 1836 after he crossed four tributaries near its head.
  • From 1913 to 1920 the place was called Anderson Siding, but in 1920 the post office name changed to St-Quentin. The name honours the 1918 First World War battle of Saint Quentin which was a major Allied victory.
  • The battle site in the old French province of Picardy was the original home of some of the first settlers in northern New Brunswick.
  • Saint-Quentin is the jumping-off point for Mount Carleton Provincial Park, a 17,000 hectare (42,000 acre) park surrounding Mount Carleton, the highest point in the Maritime provinces at 817 metres (2,690 feet).
  • From Saint-Quentin take Route 180 E 30 km to Route 385 and follow signs to the park and mountain.
  • With permission from 'New Brunswick Place Names' David E. Scott 2009
