Geocache Description:


The first permanent settlement of what was to become the Village of Salisbury was begun in 1774 by immigrants from Yorkshire, England. Taking advantage of the fertile soil of the Petitcodiac River system's intervals, these first residents built successful farms and also turned to the area's timber-rich forests to establish thriving lumbering operations. Dairy farming and lumbering continue in the locality to this day, while fur ranching has been a tradition here since the early 1900's. Transport of goods in and out of the community was by means of the river initially, as well as over the region's rough trails and roads. Arrival of the European and North American Railway in 1860 provided access to the ports of Saint John and Shediac, no doubt increasing business prospects immeasurably. The village is believed to have been connected to the outside world by a telegraph office located in the railway station as early as the 1860's. Nearly half a century later, in 1906, the village's first telephone exchange was established.
