Until 1828, he served as principal of the Ottawa office. The farm of 655 acres station was sold in 1844 and the buildings in 1855, The post was transformed, becoming the town of Fort-Coulonge, located a few miles down the river. The first sawmill in the area was built in 1843 by George Bryson. The first wooden chapel was erected in 1873, but it was replaced by a brick church in 1884 after a fire. In 1886, the railroad rallied Fort-Coulonge. On December 10, 1888, Fort-Coulonge became a municipality and John Bryson assumed the office of mayor.
