The community is situated in rolling hills east of the Saint John River valley several kilometres south of Drummond. Its main industry is potato farming and related industries. Once the site of several schools, New Denmark is currently left with one English-language school serving elementary-age students; students in New Denmark can choose to continue school in nearby Grand Falls or Plaster Rock. The community hosts Lutheran, Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Pentecostal churches. Its five major ancestries are: English (50.1%), French (36.4%), Danish (17.0%), Scottish (12.4%), Irish (11.9%). The population has remained at approximately 1,000 residents in recent history, with Denmark Parish reporting a population of 1,668 in 2006. History{{See also|History of New Brunswick|List of historic places in Victoria County, New Brunswick}}The community of Hellerup originally derived its name from Captain Sorensen S. Heller with several Danish settlers who sailed from København to Halifax aboard the Caspian steam ship, then on to the city of Saint John aboard the Empres, paddle wheeled up the Salmon River arriving at the gravel bank on the opposite inhabitable side of Drummond which concurred the redrafting of the Free Grants Act and redistribution of land parcels away from the original agreement set in the 1872 Stymest Heller proposal. Eventually forming the largest and what would become the oldest Danish community in Canada, the Danish influence has diminished somewhat in recent decades due to out-migration. In 1912, the National Transcontinental Railway constructed a large steel trestle across the Salmon River valley. Today, this bridge remains an important structure on the Montreal-Halifax mainline of the Canadian National Railway. Trivia
