The Town of Devon, New Brunswick, was incorporated in 1917 with the union of the two villages of St. Mary's Ferry (North Devon) and Gibson (South Devon).  In July 1945 Devon amalgamated with the City of Fredericton.  After amalgamation 'Devon' officially ceased to exist, except in the hearts and memories of its residents. 
Until recently no official dumentation has been recorded of the history of Devon (1917-1945).  At the request of Mary Hayes, daughter of Leo Hayes (namesake of Leo Hayes high School in Fredericton North), the compilation of the History of Devon was started by Carol Randall in 2004.  Carol was joined in the project by Bob McNeil in 2006 and together they have produced 4 volumes of Devon Remembered.
The 1944 Devon Town Directory was the starting point for this project.  Click here to see the list of names and addresses, and photos of a majority of these homes. 

Originally the book was to be under one cover but as research expanded Devon Remembered  developed into four (4) volumes.  A view of the geographical area covered in each volume can be view by clicking on the photo above.
