Municipal District of St. Stephen Accelerator Program

The Town of St. Stephen is located in Charlotte County along the St. Croix River, and has a population of 4,415 residents. It is within close proximity to the U.S. border as well as Saint John and Fredericton. The Town is also known as Canada’s Chocolate Town due to its chocolate heritage from the Ganong Brothers who started a grocery store in 1873 that eventually became a chocolate corporation.
