Hopewell is a rural community located along the West Branch of the East River. It was originally named Milltown because of the grist mills operating in the area (by Donald Gray and Simon Fraser between 1810 and 1815, and by John Duff between 1820 and 1825).
The Intercolonial Railway was built through here about 1866-67. The first rail station n Hopewell was built in 1867 and then replaced in 1925. Shortly after the rail opened, Prince Arthur, later the Duke of Connaught and Governor-General of Canada, visited Hopewell.
