## History[edit]

The village is named in honour of the Roman Catholic Bishop, the Most Reverend James Rogers, late Bishop of Chatham, New Brunswick. Rogersville is the home of two Trappist (Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance) monasteries, Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Abbey (Our Lady of the Assumption Abbey for women) and Notre Dame du Calvaire Abbey (Our Lady of Calvary Abbey for men).

It is also the burial place of the man considered the Father of Modern Acadia—(Bishop) Monseigneur Marcel-Francois Richard, and the site of a monument containing his sarcophagus.

On 1 January 2023, Rogersville annexed all or part of seven local service districts to form the new village of Nouvelle-Arcadie.[2][3] The community's name remains in official use.[4]

## Present day[edit]

It is served by Via Rail's train the Ocean which stops at the Rogersville railway station.
