History
Prior to municipal amalgamation on January 1, 1995, Douglastown was an incorporated village in Northumberland County.
Douglastown was originally known as Gretna Green and was founded in 1812 by two Scottish immigrants, Alexander Rankin and James Gilmour. The name changed after the Great Miramichi Fire of 1825 to honour Sir Howard Douglas (1776-1861), then the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick.[1]
The post office was established in 1835, but the community wasn't incorporated as a village until 1966.[2][3]
