Caraquet, — G. Important Acadian farming and (especially) fishing settlement, 

 one of the oldest, and perhaps the oldest in New Brunswick. The local

 about 1760 by sailors from a French man-o-war driven into St. 

 Simon's Bay by an English war vessel and sunk there; the sailors 

 are said to have retired to Lower Caraquet. where some of them married 

 squaws and originated the settlement. There were settlers here in 

 1761 (Smethurst), and the church registers date from 1772 (Gaudet). 

 In 1784 lands were granted here to 27 French families, since which 

 other Acadians (especially at Upper Caraquet) and some Canadian 

 French, together with a few English families have joined the settle- 

 ment which has grown greatly and expanded to other parts of Gloucester. 

 Erected as a parish in 1831. (Loc. inf.; Plessis. 109; Hist. Sites, 301;
