'''Northumberland County''' is located in northeastern [[New Brunswick]], Canada.<ref name="GNB">{{cite web |website=New Brunswick Provincial Archives|url=http://archives.gnb.ca/Exhibits/Communities/CountyListing.aspx?culture=en-CA&county=8/ |title=Northumberland County}}</ref>

==Geography==
Northumberland County is covered by thick forests, whose products stimulate the economy. The highest peaks in the province, including [[Mount Carleton]] lie in the northwestern corner of the county.

The county is dominated by the [[Miramichi River]], world famous for its salmon fishing.  The lower portion of the river is an [[estuary]] that widens into [[Miramichi Bay]], a part of the [[Gulf of St. Lawrence]].

==Services==
The city of [[Miramichi, New Brunswick|Miramichi]] is a local service centre for the county and surrounding regions with schools, hospitals and government offices and retail locations.  The county has several saw mills in the city of Miramichi and up the Southwest Branch of the Miramichi River.  There were formerly two large pulp and paper mills at Miramichi.

Chatham was also home to an [[Canadian Forces Air Command|air force]] base, [[CFB Chatham]], until 1996.  [[Renous-Quarryville]], located along the Southwest Miramichi was also home to an [[Canadian Forces Land Forces Command|army]] post - a federal maximum security [[Prison|penitentiary]] is now located on the site.
