History

Dixville was originally known as "Drew's Mills", named after a settler, who the early 1800s, had built a saw mill at this location on the Coaticook River. The settlement began around the year 1830; the site was back then part of the Township of Barford. A Mr. Drew set up a dwelling on the banks of the Coaticook River, cleared land to build a sawmill beside a dam which he had built. In 1836, John Wright came to join up with Drew. Soon after, others came to this place and the village became known as Drew's Mills. [4]

Shortly before the turn of the century, it was renamed Dixville, after Richard Dick Baldwin, who was known as "Uncle Dick" by the majority of the town's residents. [5]

The name Saint-Mathieu-de-Dixville was used in the past. It may be the name of the local Roman Catholic church.
