Locally, this road may be known as either the "Shin Crick Road" or the "Mine Road". In the early 1980s, a mine was established off Route 785, at Mount Pleasant.

Sheldon Lee, who continued developed the road during his terms in office, especially on the portion of road north of Mount Pleasant. Mr. Lee lived in the community of Bonny River, which is located near the southern end of Route 785, and like many people today, frequently used Route 785 for travel to Fredericton from the St. George area, roughly shaving off 40km per trip when compared to highway travel.
