History

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

The area was settled in the 1850s by Joseph Drapeau. When a later contingent of settlers from Scotland arrived, they gave the community its present name after Balmoral Castle.

On 1 January 2023, Balmoral amalgamated with the neighbouring village of Eel River Crossing and all or part of five local service districts to form the new village of Bois-Joli.[4][5] The community's name remains in official use.[6]
