In 1791 they settled near Keegan, a village just north of the main settlement, to farm and work in the lumbering industry. A model \u201cAcadian Village\u201d is near Keegan village.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The population today is about &nbsp;2,038 at the 2020 census (Wikipedia).

Approximately 10,000 Acadians were deported by Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and parts of New Brunswick for refusing to swear unconditional allegiance to the British Crown. They were later joined by Anglo-American and French-Canadian settlers. The town was officially established in February 1881 and named after the eighth U.S. President, Martin Van Buren. Van Buren thrived as a mill town, and even was home to St. Mary&#8217;s College for over 30 years. Over the years, Van Buren blossomed into a thriving town with many stores, and even three movie theatres. Van Buren had its highest growth period in the 1950s, however, the closure of the Air Force base led to a population decline, and loss of jobs. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id18234_e26c5b-a6 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column18234_e1f79a-71\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Revitalization\">Revitalization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Buren is working to revitalize its downtown and strengthen the community through local projects and resident-driven planning.
