25 Years of Madawaska Valley
In 2001, the Township of Radcliffe, the Township of Sherwood, Jones, and Burns, and the Village of Barry’s Bay amalgamated to form the Township of Madawaska Valley.
In celebration of 25 years of Madawaska Valley, we’ll be sharing photos and stories going all the way back to the first meeting of Radcliffe Township in 1912. Visit this page weekly for updates.
1902
On January 13, 1902, the Township of Radcliffe held their first meeting with John Hudson serving as Reeve. Radcliffe had existed in some form prior to this date – the Townships of Brudenell, Radcliffe, Raglan, and Lyndoch had been incorporated back in 1860. Radcliffe gained its independence in 1902, with Mr. Hudson as Reeve and William Boehme, James McKay, Thomas Mahon, and Joseph Mayhew serving as Councillors. Treasurer W.E. James and Clerk J.E.H. Miller rounded out the table.
