The First World War monument, an obelisk carved of light-coloured granite, was erected in 1925. This land was donated in 1924 to the former town of Marysville by Canadian Cottons, corporate owners of the cotton mill that was the main industry of the town. The town has since become part of the City of Fredericton.
