Berry Mills, New Brunswick


Berry Mills is a small, unincorporated community north-west of Moncton, New Brunswick. It is located around the main Canadian National Railway line, which was formerly the Intercolonial Railway of Canada line. Major Intersections include New Brunswick Route 128 and New Brunswick Route 2 as well as Homestead Road and New Brunswick Route 128. Berry Mills also includes the mostly forest area of Lutesville, New Brunswick.

History

The community was founded by, and named after, Jonathan Berry who established a water powered sawmill on land which he was granted.
Berry Mills once hosted two separate rail lines through the community:
When the Canadian Government nationalized these two railways to form Canadian National Railway, the two lines were connected via junctions east in Moncton and west at Pacific Junction, and the rails were subsequently lifted from the former Intercolonial Railway route. This became the route of the Berry Mills Road, which is now New Brunswick Route 128.
