The Village of Doaktown has a population of approximately 1000 people within the village limits but draws on the many communities surrounding it for sharing resources, jobs and economic development in the area. This results in a population base of around 5 or 6,000 people. The surrounding communities such as Storeytown, Ludlow, McNamee, Boiestown, Blissfield and even Upper Blackville contribute to our work force.

Our main industry at present is the lumber industry with J.D. Irving being the major employer. Tourism also plays a large part in our economic development, providing our residents with full time and seasonal work along with giving us the opportunity to share our natural resources with visitors from around the world.

At the present time, we have a large parcel of land in a prime location dedicated as an Industrial Park. Incentives are available to those interested in starting a business in our village. If you would like to find out more about this opportunity in our beautiful riverside community, please drop us a line, call or email us. We welcome you to come and visit us to discuss the incentives. You will not be disappointed
