Calhoun, New Brunswick

Calhoun is an unincorporated community in Westmorland County, New Brunswick. The community is situated in southeastern New Brunswick, to the east of Moncton,[1] and is part of Greater Moncton.

History

In 1898, Calhoun had one post office, store, and steam sawmill. The population was around 150.[2]

This community used to have a railway station, although not much else is known other than its name, Calhoun Station[3]

In mid 2021, residents of Calhoun expressed frustration at the local government because of their plan to construct a fifth rock quarry in the area. Everyone in the community was against it, except Local Governance Minister Daniel Allain. Due to him, the project eventually came through.[4]
