About Madawaska County
The area
Madawaska County is the northwestern corner of New Brunswick, with Quebec to the west, Maine to the south, Restigouche County to the north and Victoria County to the east. It had about 32,600 people in 2021 on about 3,455 km² of land, roughly nine people per km². French is the mother tongue of about nine in ten residents. Edmundston, where the Madawaska River meets the Saint John, is the main centre (about 16,400 in 2021, before the 2023 reform added Rivière-Verte). Since 2023 the former rural community of Haut-Madawaska and Lac Baker form Haut-Madawaska, Saint-Léonard and Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska form Vallée-des-Rivières, and the remaining rural land, including the parishes of Madawaska and Saint-Basile, belongs to the Northwest Rural District.
History
The Madawaska Maliseet First Nation (Matawaskiye), a Wolastoqey community, lives on the St. Basile reserve just east of Edmundston; in 2021 it settled a federal land claim over lands that became part of the city. Most early settlers were Acadians who came after the Expulsion, joined by some from Quebec. The county was split from Victoria County in 1873, and a pulp mill opened at Edmundston in 1917, tied to a paper mill across the river in Madawaska, Maine.
Services and access
Edmundston Regional Hospital has 169 beds, a 24-hour emergency department, intensive care, surgery, obstetrics, dialysis and oncology. Grand Falls General Hospital also has an emergency department. The Trans-Canada Highway passes Edmundston and continues into Quebec toward Rivière-du-Loup. A bridge links Edmundston with Madawaska, Maine, where the border crossing is open 24 hours. Fredericton International Airport has scheduled flights on Air Canada, Porter and WestJet. The Twin Rivers pulp mill in Edmundston employs more than 280 people and sells power from its biomass plant to NB Power.
Land and climate
The Saint John River floods in spring here, often behind ice jams. In 2019 it passed flood stage at Clair, Saint-Hilaire and Edmundston, and in 1902 the Madawaska River ran down Edmundston's main street. Many rural homes use private wells, which only a licensed New Brunswick well contractor may drill; the province recommends testing for bacteria every spring and fall.
Before you buy
The Northwest Regional Service Commission issues building permits and handles planning for Haut-Madawaska, Vallée-des-Rivières and the Northwest Rural District. Edmundston runs its own permits under a zoning bylaw in force since 2024. Haut-Madawaska adopted a new municipal plan and zoning bylaw in 2025, so check the current version. Any work within 30 m of a watercourse or wetland needs a provincial permit. The province publishes flood hazard maps that allow for climate change to 2100.
