Beaver Harbour is a community on the Fundy shore of New Brunswick, Canada.

Most of the community forms the Local service district of Beaver Harbour, which was established in 1971.[1] It is also a census subdivision of Census Canada. Since the formation of the LSD, the community has expanded past the original boundaries into the LSD of the parish of Pennfield.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 1866 it had about 30 resident families, and grew to a population of 150 by 1871, the 500 in 1898.[2] As of 2021, the population was 291.[3]

It is the site of the Lighthouse Point Light, originally built in 1875 and subsequently rebuilt. It is a fiberglass tapered cylindrical tower with balcony and lantern.[4]

History

Beaver Harbour was first settled in 1783 by Quaker loyalists who had fled Pennsylvania as a result of the American Revolution. It became the first settlement in British North America to forbid slavery, with 49 names of families being attached to a founding constitution which barred slave owners from living there.[5][6]
