St-Croix: 1604-2004.
The first significant settlement in North
America is on Ste-Croix Island, at the
mouth of the St.Croix river which is the
international boundary between the United
States and Canada.. In the summer of
1604, 80 French colonists led by Pierre
Dugua, Sieur de Mons and Samuel de
Champlain, established the first colony and
attempted to spend their first winter in
Nouvelle France. This is three years before
Jamestown, Virginia (1607) and 16 years
before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth,
Massachusetts (1620).

2004 400th anniversary of Acadian settlement.
Nova Scotia’s Acadie.
After spending the winter of 1604-1605 on Sainte-Croix Island, French
explorers including Pierre du Guasieur de Monts, moved their colony to
a new place where they built a fortification which they named Port Royal
(“King’s Port”) in honor of the King’s geographer on the expedition, Samuel
de Champlain. He called the land “La Cadie”, a derivative of “L’Arcadie”.
It is here along the Annapolis Valley that the majority of Acadian ancestors
first took root. As a result of the deportation begun in 1755, and of subsequent
migrations, the Acadians were scattered all over the Atlantic rim, including
New England, and south as ar as Georgia and into Louisiana. Some were deported
to England, and back to France, as well as to present-day New Brunswick,
Prince Edward Island, and other locations within Nova Scotia and Quebec.
Today, in Nova Scotia, there are a number of thriving Acadian villages
as well as historic sites which depict Acadian history. The reconstructed
fort of Port Royal signifies where the French first settled in 1605, and
Grand Pré is the site of a church commemorating the Acadian deportation
and migration. Direct descendants of the Acadian Expulsion are established
in Chéticamp (Inverness County on Cape Breton Island). The arrival
of French fishermen on the shores of Isle Madame in Richmond County predates
the 17th century.
