Amherst, Nova Scotia

History

"According to Dr. Graham P. Hennessey, 'The Micmac name was Nemcheboogwek meaning 'going up rising ground', in reference to the higher land to the east of the Tantramar Marshes. The Acadians who settled here as early as 1672 called the village Les Planches. The village was later renamed Amherst by Colonel Joseph Morse in honour of Lord Amherst, the commander-in-chief of the British Army in North America during the Seven Years' War.'"

Miscou Island Brief History
England and France were contending for the possession of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and for all Canada; and during those troubled times, from 1755 to 1761, Miscou was probably abandoned by the French as unsafe from attack by their more powerful foe. But in 1763 the country passed to England, and in 1764 the exiled Acadians were once more permitted tosettle this country. Then, apparently about 1770, entered the Acadians, though at first but temporarily, into the history of Miscou. There are church records which show that in 1773 there lived at Miscou the Acadian families Doucet, Hache, Arseneau, Boudreault, Chiasson, LeBlanc, and (in 1777) Lavigne, and it is known that also there was a Landry.These men came mostly from Prince Edward Island (Ile St. Jean) where their families had long been established. Among them were Alexis Landry and Pierre Doucet, who are said to have lived on opposite sides of Landry River, whence they later (about 1780) removed. Landry to become the founder of Upper Caraquet, Doucet to become a founder of Bathurst.<ref name=Archive>Archive.org</ref>
