In the 1950s, Upper Kent was the site of three service stations, three churches, a bus stop, restaurant, dry goods store, general store, hotel, blacksmith's shop, an elementary school, a high school, and was serviced by a Saint John River ferry and daily train and bus service. The construction of the Beechwood hydroelectric dam in the mid 50's, and the flooding of the Beechwood head pond, combined with the relocation of the main highway, resulted in drastic change. {{NewBrunswick-geo-stub}} 2 : Communities in Carleton County, New Brunswick|Local service districts of Carleton County, New Brunswick |
