Introduction
The first non-native people to change the cultural history of Nova Scotia in a significant and permanent way were the French colonists. These courageous people, faced with a geography and socio-cultural reality different from their distant homeland, developed their own culture and the Acadian people were born.
| From the first expedition in 1604 and for the next 150 years, this people, for better or for worse, worked the land and raised their children in their “Paradise on Earth”. Although the Acadians did not live in total peace during this period, it represents the golden age of Acadia. |

This site presents a general view of who lived where in the regions of Port-Royal, Grand-Pré, Pubnico (Cap-Sable), Beaubassin, Pisiquit, Cobequit, and Louisbourg before the deportation. Because documents and maps from this era are rare and often incomplete, this is not an exhaustive work. |
