the text in this section is based on an article in Wikipedia

Beaver Brook Station was created when the Intercolonial Railway was constructed through the area 15 km (9.3 mi) north of Newcastle (now part of the city of Miramichi) in 1875.

Max Aitken (1879-1964), Canadian-British politician and newspaper publisher, grew up in the nearby community of Newcastle. In accepting his peerage, he chose the name "Lord Beaverbrook" in reference to this community, after initially considering the harder to pronounce "Lord Miramichi".

East Beaver Brook is located 1.26 km E of Beaver Brook Station.
