 It used to be called "The Forks", in plural, because the Tusket River, which passes through the village stretches out in three branches, the Upper Tusket River, the Lower Tusket River and the Quinan River.Every year, during the Labour Day weekend in September, the community welcomes people from everywhere for their Annual Labour Day Picnic.In 2008, Quinan celebrated its 125th Annual Picnic.
