A man named Cooney wrote in May 1832 that in 1828, Bathurst only contained a few
houses, but that four years' hence it had sprouted a brick Court House
roofed with slate, a Gaol, a Post Office, a few mercantile
establishments, and more than 30 homes. What we now know as Riverside
Drive was populated by several Francophone families (who are assumed
to be the remnants of Captain MacKenzie's evacuation) and their "neat little
Chapel... and two or three rustic wind mills", presumably for grinding
grain. He estimated the population of Bathurst and its harbour area to
be more than 600 souls. Economic activities included farming,
lumbering, and fishing.
