Origin of name

edit

The parish was named for Baker Brook, which took its name from John Baker, an American leader in the Aroostook War.[5] Baker remained in the area after the boundary settlement assigned the area to New Brunswick.

History

edit

Baker Brook was erected in 1930 from Saint-Hilaire Parish.[6]

In 1946 Baker Brook was affected by the major rewriting of Madawaska County parish boundaries.[7]
