 By the 1840s, there were as many as twenty vessels waiting to load lumber at the wharf each day during the shipping season.Due to the economic boom brought on by the new industry, Saint-Martins-In-The-Woods Anglican Church in nearby Shediac Cape applied for a land in Pointe-Du-Chene.They were granted , and to this day more than two-thirds of the land in Pointe-Du-Chene belongs to the church, which rents the land to the occupants.
