Wells
There is a popular misconception and some confusion about the area known as Wells and an adjacent area known as French Village. Basically, French Village consisted of the area from the covered bridge on the Hammond River towards Hampton and Wells encompassed the area from the bridge towards Saint John and the Upper Golden Grove area.
