History

See also: History of New Brunswick and List of historic places in Gloucester County, New Brunswick

The village was first settled in 1832 as a temporary fishing port for people from Caraquet and Bertrand. Their small cabins (maisonnettes in French) was the inspiration for the name of the village.

Maisonnette is French for "little house". Formerly Ste. Jeanne D'Arc, the name was changed on October 1, 1936.

On 1 January 2023, Maisonnette amalgamated with three other villages and all or part of four local service districts to form the new town of Rivière-du-Nord. The community's name remains in official use.
