Acadian Coast
The Acadian Coast is a name which is applied by historians to the section of Louisiana along the Mississippi River that was settled by the exiled Acadians, beginning in 1764. [1][2][3]
While applying particularly to the present Saint James Parish, the term is sometimes used to designate the Acadian settlements just up the Mississippi in Ascension Parish.
The Acadian Coast can also apply to the east coast of New Brunswick (north east to south east), where the large majority of the population and communities are Acadian, these regions have been populated by the Acadians since the British forced the returned Acadians following their expulsion to settle on the Eastern shores of New Brunswick.
