HISTORY
The Passamaquoddy First Nations, who have lived in our region for thousands of years, are known as the people of the place where pollock was plentiful. The natural and cultural history of our region is plentiful and diverse – and we welcome you to explore it with us.
HISTORIC SPOTS
One could argue that the nation of Canada was truly born with the attempt by Samuel de Champlain to create a year-round settlement on l’Isle de St. Croix, or St. Croix Island, in 1604. Though his settlement ultimately failed and he relocated to Port Royal, St. Croix Island remains an important part of early Acadian and Canadian history.
