The Tobique Reserve is located on the north side of the Tobique River.The reserve comprises two lots: The Brother's #18 and Tobique #20. The reserve, established in 1801 with nearly 20,000 acres, was granted after a petition to the government by band members. Roughly two-thirds of members of the Tobique First Nation reside on the reserve lands.
