SAINT-LéONARD, NEW BRUNSWICK


'Saint-Léonard'/'St. Leonard' (2001 population: 1,385) is a Canadian town in Madawaska County, New Brunswick.
Located on the east bank of the Saint John River opposite Van Buren, Maine, the town's economy is driven by potato farming and a J.D. Irving Limited sawmill.
St-Léonard is officially bilingual but predominantly a Francophone community. It has a single school: Ecole Grande-Riviere.
Nearby communities include Grand Falls, St-Quentin, and Edmundston.
St-Léonard was once a popular town when liquor was banned in the United-States because it was easy to get across the border illegally to Van Buren.
