The Town of St. Stephen is a municipality on the border of New Brunswick, Canada and Calais Maine, USA. St. Stephen is officially Canada’s Chocolate Town, proud of its chocolate-related heritage. Today the town enjoys an annual Chocolate Fest, as well as a Chocolate Museum and Chocolatier. In 1604 French explorers Sieur de Monts and Samuel de Champlain chose Saint Croix Island for the capital of L’Acadie. Their settlement there was short-lived but set the St. Croix so firmly in record that it was used to mark future boundaries, including the current boundary between the United States and Canada on which St. Stephen is situated. The communities of Calais, Maine and St. Stephen, New Brunswick have shared lives as “border towns” in a most neighbourly fashion. In fact, in 1812 the people of St. Stephen loaned Calais sufficient gunpowder to celebrate the 4th of July while both countries were technically at war. Today, The Town of St. Stephen is a thriving community, showing positive growth, new businesses, new infrastructure, new people from all over, but maintaining its small town charm. The Town of St. Stephen is perfectly situated on the edge of the Bay of Fundy for you to to business, or just come to relax.
