History

A settlement called Weldford was first established on this site in 1869 when the railway was constructed. By 1871 the population was 150. In 1894 the settlement was renamed Harcourt and by 1898 the population had grown to 250 and had become the site of a station on the Intercolonial Railway. Harcourt was a farming and lumbering settlement with 7 stores, 2 hotels, 1 tannery, 1 sawmill, 1 hemlock bark extract factory, 1 carriage factory, 3 churches.[2]

The plane carrying T. Babbitt Parlee crashed near here in 1957.[3]
