The village of Pamdenec was a small bedroom community located on the Saint John River, north of Grand Bay, in Westfield Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada. Pamdenec had a post office from 1924 to 1968, was incorporated as a village in 1966, and became part of the village of Grand Bay in 1972.[1]
"Pamdenec" is a Maliseet name, meaning "little hill".[2] The village was formerly called Hillside and in 1866, under that name, was a farming community consisting of approximately 75 families.[1]
In 2011, the area was listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places for its cultural value as the site of a group of summer cottages owned by members of the Jewish community of Saint John, mainly from the 1920s to the 1960s.[3]
