Meteghan/Meteghan River
The Meteghan River, abounding in extensive intervals or meadows, takes its rise in Little Meteghan Lake, Woodville,
running south-westerly crosses New Tusket Road between the residences of James D. McAlpine and Amos Barr, drains a
chain of lakes; and after a course of about twenty miles empties into St. Mary's Bay. Meteghan is Indian signifying
"Wooden fence, Weir."
Meteghan Village, at its mouth, is a pretty, thickly settled and active trading mart, containing many handsome edifices.
