Bonar Law Historic Park:
A historic park commemorates the birth, in the village of Rexton, of Bonar Law, the only Prime Minister of Great Britain ever to be born outside the British Isles. The population is mainly English-speaking in this small village, whose first name was simply The Yard, because of the boat-building company which was established there by John Jardine. The community adopted the name Kingston for a period of time but its current name, Rexton, has been in use since 1901.

Its peaceful environment provides a large number of outdoor activities, particularly in winter when the surrounding countryside becomes a snowmobile paradise.
