The area of Canada where I live is one of the earliest settled (by Europeans).. The Acadians were displaced and then the area was resettled by Scots and Yorkshire men. We have such a varied history. The place names are also an interesting mix of MicMac, French and English. I was thrilled when .Baie Verte put up their signs indicating the age of the village,

Probably less than 100…. The entire province of New Brunswick has less than 800,000 people.

Those little signs certainly make you aware of the history of this area.

It is a very old place for sure. Care to tell us more of the area?

I’ll expand in other discussions. I can’t use all of my ideas in just one post.

1619? Wow, that is amazing. Canada can beat Australia by a long way when it comes to European settlement.

I wish more villages and cities would do that. It sounds like your village has a rich history.

I always enjoy learning when a city, town, village became established. Some go through quite a variety of names….others the name evolves or sometimes the pronunciation is nothing like you’d expect.

That's a very small community. I suppose they get along well with each other.

Mostly we all live far enough apart, even if you don’t get along.

That is a very old area. I am sure that the local history is very rich.

It's a good practice to indicate in a sign the establishment of a certain place or village for the future people to historically value its significance. We have some houses here which near an engrave sign when the said houses were built.

If I am not mistaken, Quebec is a pure French speaking people.

Quebec is mostly French speaking, but the city of Montreal has a large English speaking population. New Brunswick is a bilingual province. All government services are offered in French and English. All signage (street/highway) is in both languages.
