Reidville

The Town of Reidville is an agricultural and lumber community located a just a few kilometers north of Deer Lake and situated along the banks of the majestic Humber River.

The community was named by Thomas Reid, whose was the first to arrive there from Norris Point in the early 1930s.

Reidville was well suited to agriculture and people began to raise horses, cattle, and poultry. Hay and grain were grown for the animals, and root crops such as potatoes and turnips provided food for the families who first settled there. Farming is still an important way of life for the residents of Reidville.
