Miramichi ~ The River is Just the Beginning
Miramichi is not just the name of our city. It is a river, a community, a region, an attitude, an identity, a culture. To its people, “The Miramichi” is home sweet home.
The City of Miramichi was born on January 1, 1995, the amalgamation of two towns, three villages and several local service districts along the last easterly banks of the Miramichi River.
Miramichiers are known far and wide for their hospitality. Whether you are a native Miramichier or you’ve arrived from away, it’s not long before you see the friendly grins and hear the familiar “How's she goin'?, followed by the only understandable reply: “The Very Best!
You'll smile to yourself, amused and perhaps even comforted: you too are “home on the Miramichi!”
The Miramichi.
Welcome Home!
