Pembroke

Town in Robeson County, southern North Carolina, USA, 18 km/11 mi northwest of Lumberton; population (1990) 2,200. It is the centre of an American Indian Croatan (Lumbee) community, and the seat of Pembroke State University (1887).

Pembroke

Seat of Renfrew County, southeastern Ontario, Canada, on the Allumette Lake (part of the Ottawa River), 120 km/75 mi northwest of Ottawa; population (1991) 14,000. The Indian and Muskrat rivers meet the Ottawa here. Pembroke developed as a major lumbering centre, and continues to make a variety of wood products. A gateway for the nearby Algonquin Provincial Park, it is also a tourist base for fishing, rafting, and birdwatching; the area is a stopover for swallows and waterbirds migrating to the west.

Settled in the 1820s, it was formerly known as Campbellton and Miramichi.
