Berwick

Berwick, Kings County — It is said that this district was settled as far back as 1760 by English from Connecticut who took the places vacated by the Acadians. It was formerly named "Pleasant Valley", and the village was known as "Currie's Comer", later called "Congdon's Corner" and in 1835 "Davison's Corner", after a man named Davison, an early settler.

The present name was given it in 1857, at a meeting called for that purpose, and is after the English seaport town on the Tweed. At the meeting it was also decided the word would be pronounced Ber-wick, not Ber-ick, as is the English name.
