    Irishtown is located on Route 115 between Moncton and Notre Dame. It lies along the headwaters of the Shediac River. It began with a petition to the NB government on January 23, 1821 to begin a community by eight individuals:
    "…on vacant lands laying about North from the mouth of Halls Creek on the Petitcodiac River, about eight miles back, Shediac river running through the lands…your petitioners therefore prays that they may have a Block of land allotted to them of three hundred acres for each petitioner."[PANB]
    The petition was not granted because it was not detailed enough and eventually through the 1820's, only three of the eight petitioners actually settled in the community, suggesting that some of the petitioners were actually attempting to acquire crown lands for the timber rather than settling"
