During the 1800s, local agricultural societies were developing in rural communities throughout Canada and so were the annual agricultural fairs, which aimed to promote rural development. Such was the case in Albert County; the early fairs were organized by the agricultural society of each community and devoted to the exhibition of livestock and agricultural products. These annual one-day fairs held in October were exciting social events in the communities of Albert, Harvey, Hopewell Hill, Hillsborough and Coverdale.
