History

The village is named in honour of the Roman Catholic Bishop, the Most Reverend James Rogers, late Bishop of Chatham, New Brunswick. Rogersville is the home of two Trappist (Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance) monasteries, Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Abbey (Our Lady of the Assumption Abbey for women) and Notre Dame du Calvaire Abbey (Our Lady of Calvary Abbey for men).

It is also the burial place of the man considered the Father of Modern Acadia—(Bishop) Monseigneur Marcel-Francois Richard, and the site of a monument containing his sarcophagus.

In May 2022, it was announced that the municipality would take the name of Nouvelle-Arcadie after its amalgamation with the LSDs of Acadieville, Rogersville Parish and Collette.

Present day

It is served by Via Rail's train the Ocean which stops at the Rogersville railway station.
