Richibucto Village, — Kt. Important early Acadian farming and fishing settle- 

 ment, formed in 1790 by Joseph Richard and several Acadian families 

 from St. Pierre and Miquelon. It has grown steadily to the present, 

 extending to other parts of Kent. (Hist, by Gaudet in Le Moniteur 

 Acadien, November 23, 1882 — January, 1883; May 31, 1887, and following 

 Nos.; Bourgeois, in the same, December, 1896; Plessis, 180; Cooney, 151). 



Richmond, — Cn. Parish est. 1853; first settled at Park's Hill in 1814, by 

 immigrants from Maine, and three miles east of Richmond Corner, by 

 Isaac Smith, from the St. John, in 1816; later, numerous native settlers 

 from the St. John, together with some Scotch immigrants at Richmond 

 Corner, McKenzie Corner and North Richmond, some Irish at the Irish 

 Settlement, some Americans along the western border and some Eng- 

 lish at Ivy's Corner and Plymouth, gradually filled up the parish, the 

 great part of the population, however, resulting from expansion of 

 the Loyalist and New England Settlements of the St. John. (Loc. inf.; 

 Smith, Methodism, II, 261; Raymond, Carleton County, and St. John 

 Telegraph, September 7, 1887). 



Richmond Corner, — Cn. Earlier called Scotch Corner. Settled about 1822 

 by a few Scotch immigrants. The Quebec and St. Andrews railroad 

 had its terminus here for a few years after 1862, giving it considerable 

 temporary importance, but the track was taken up back to Debec 

 when the Woodstock branch was built in 1S6S. (Loc. inf.; and as. 

 under the preceding). 



River du Cache,— N. Early Acadian fishing and farming settlement, perhaps 

 founded in 1761 by the families who wintered there in 1761-62 (Smet- 

 hurst, 18), though this settlement is locally said to have been temporary, 

 and its permanent occupation is said to have commenced about 1780 

 by the ancestors of the present residents. (Loc. inf.). 



Riverside, — A. Settled first as an original part of HopeweU. 



Rhomboid, — Kt. Former name for a number of settlements laid out in 1S54 

 and 1863 under the Labour Act, and since settled, chiefly by Acadians, 

 as noted under the present names of those settlements. (Adams, 21). 



Roach Settlement, — Y. An expansion of Cork, now mostly abandoned. (Loc. 

 inf.) 



Robertviile, — G. Recent Acadian settlement, formed 1879 under the Free 

 Grants Act, and settled by expansion from neighbouring settlements. 

 (Adams, 17). 



Robicheau, — K. Former small Acadian village above the mouth of the Belle- 

 isle, destroyed in 1758 by Monckton. Apparently also called Belleisle. 

 (Hist. Sites, 271). 



Rockland, — Cn. Native farming and lumbering (mill) settlement, an expan- 

 sion from the river St. John, formed about 1825. (Sketches of New 

 Brunswick, 42).
