(now Bathurst, N.B.)



Nipisiguit is situated in the north-western region of New Brunswick. The coasts of the 'Baie des Chaleurs' were already known by the French and the Acadians for a long time. According to geographical surveys along that coast, there has been evidence of European fishermen there as far back as 1506. The colonization of this area only came later since neither the French nor the English showed interest in this region until 1755.



It would stand to reason that this area was well-known to Acadians in Nova Scotia before deportation in 1755. Because it was secluded from the military and political centres, many Acadians who escaped deportation followed the coast or went through the woods to seek refuge in what is now northern New Brunswick.
