History & Origin

Rexton is a modern build — Latin rex, 'king', plus the -ton settlement — paralleling Kingston (a Canadian village shares it; construction informal, which we note).

It registers thinly in records. Rare, king's-town by assembly, and chartered.

Did you know? Rexton assembles what Kingston inherited — rex plus town — and a New Brunswick village holds the deed already.
