Description

First a settlement for the Maliseet and Mi'kmaq peoples and later a safe haven for American Loyalist immigrants in the eighteenth century, Sussex was not incorporated as a town until after the establishment of a railway station in 1895. In Historic Sussex, author Elaine Ingalls Hogg has collected over 150 historical images from Sussex's beginnings up to the Second World War, including photos of the town's famed agricultural producers, its businesses, and its military encampment, Camp Sussex. Named as Canada's "typical small town" by the CBC in 1956, Sussex has a rich history that comes alive in this new entry in the popular Images of Our Past series.
