Uphill was once a village of half a hundred people near the south end of the Digby boundary. It was long made famous by its tavern keeper, John Calhoun of the North Star Hotel. Other close-by ghost towns were Dartmoor and Sadowa to the west and Ragged Rapids to the north. All had been rural post offices. Uphill also had a post office and 2 stores in the late 1800s. It was located at a junction on the old Monck Colonization Road. Directly south was the ghost town of Horncastle. Submitted by: Clayton Self
