Settlers with their log homes set up along or near the shores of the great St. Croix River. The river was a major mode of transportation and a great food source too. The proximity of St. Stephen to the USA and the majestic St. Croix River was condusive to the early lumbering and shipbuilding industries. At one time; St. Stephen had about 100 wharves and slips along it’s waterfront to service these operations. It was a busy little spot with income for the people. St. Stephen’s business district grew and in 1873; the Ganong Bros. set up their candy store here. Ganong Chocolates grew to become the oldest candy company in Canada, today.
