River Town

This section of town lies partially on the north face of French Hill, which slopes steeply toward the Missituk River before flattening at River Street.
Inhabitants south of River Street tend to be French- Canadian or East European, the population becoming more and more Irish as the hill ascends.
This is the old trade district of New Jerusalem. Longtime outlets such as the New Jerusalem General Store remain here.
Many of New Jerusalem’s skilled tradesmen, native and migrant, combine homes and shops here. The houses are modest, old, and built tightly along the streets. Most are sited with their ends to the street, the front doors opening onto small courts or lanes that lead to the streets.
