Caraquet at a Glance
Situated on the shores of Chaleur
Bay on the Acadian Peninsula of New
Brunswick, this city was one of the settling points for the refugees of the
Acadian Expulsion between 1755 and 1763. Locals of the area still refer to Caraquet
as the unofficial capital of Acadie, and the city is host to the annual Acadian
Festival in August. Its primary economic base is marine business, and the
town is home to a large fishing wharf and seaport. Those interested in the history
of the area have much to explore, including the Village
Historique Acadien. French-Canadian history, present throughout New Brunswick,
is especially prominent in this county, and the culture of Caraquet reflects that
history. New Brunswick's only daily francophone newspaper, L'Acadie Nouvelle,
is published here, and French is the primary language of the majority of the populous.
The historic streets lined with unique shops and restaurants, combined with the
serenity of the port, makes Caraquet a special location within New Brunswick.
