Iron Ore Hill (2001 pop.: ) is a Canadian rural community in Carleton County, New Brunswick, 5 kilometers northwest of Woodstock.
History
The community is located on the slopes of Iron Ore Hill, named from deposits of iron ore and manganese located in the area. The deposit was discovered in 1836. Iron was mined near here from 1848 to 1884. A reported 70,000 tons iron ore was smelted during that time. The iron produced was transported to the Woodstock Iron Works to be smelted.
