[ganong] PLA(;E-î<IOMENCLATURE of new BRUNSWICK 223 



Cardigan. — S. 1819. No doubt by its settlers in remembrance of their home in 

 Wales. 



Cardwell. — P. 1874. No doubt in honour of Viscount Cardwell, then Secretarj' 

 of War in England^ 



Carleton. — (Now West End, St. John). Named by Governor Parr in 1784 in 

 honour of Sir Guy Carleton, Commander in Chief of the British forces in 

 North America (see Dom. Archives, 1894, p. 413). West End since the 

 union with St. John in 1889. 



Carleton. — C. 1831. No doubt in memory of Thomas Carleton, first Lieut.- 

 Governor of N.B. 



Carleton.— P. 1814. Named no doubt in honour of Thomas Carleton, first Lieut.- 

 Governor of N.B., died in 1817. 



Caron Point.— Origin ? On plan of 1828. 



Carr, Point au.— See Quart Point. 



Carriage Harbour. — (Near Point Le pre au). On some maps of this century for 

 Dipper Harbour. Unknown locally. It may have applied to Little Dipper 

 Harbour, the creek at the head of which is but half a mile from Lepreau 

 Basin, and possibly the Indians used this as a portage or carriage to escape 

 the dangers of Point Lepreau. 



On Jefi"reys, 1755 ; on Wright, 1772, applied to the first cove east of 

 Point Lepreau. On d'Anville, 1755, as Havre du Portage. 



Caseo Bay Island. — Often called Casco Island. In the Owen Journal of 1770 in 

 present form. 



Catons Island. — No doubt for Isaac and James Caton, pre-loyalist grantees of 

 2,000 acres in this vicinity. In Biard's letter of 1612 as Emenenic. In 

 Maliseet this, with Rocky and Fosters Islands, are called Ah-men-hen-ik- 

 mun-eek-wol {see J^ong Reach). On Monkton, 1758, as Isle au Garce (Grace(?) ), 

 no doubt its French name. On Peachy, 1783, Ja. la Grace appears along a 

 brook on the east side near it, and the island is 1. Mutton. 



CaverhilL— S. On Baillie, 1832, I. 



Chacodi. — See Barnabys River. 



Chaleur, Bay.— Named by Cartier la hayc de Chaleur, because of the great heat 

 he experienced there on July 10th, 1534. The name has been in constant 

 use ever since. It is frequently written Baye des Chaleurs, but there is 

 nothing whatever in favour of the plural form. 



In Micmac Boak-iay-bay, or, as Rand gives it (Alt.), Mowebahktabayayk — 

 biggest bay. Cooney and others have Ecketaan Nemaachi = sea of fish, 

 probably incorrect. It is said by Shea (Charlevoix, I., 113), and others that 

 on some early maps it is marked Baye des Espagnols, but I have not found 

 it. Champlain, De Laet and others have usually Baye de Chaleu. Some 

 maps have Baye de la Chaudière. Jumeau, 1685, has Baye de Sainte 

 Catherine, no doubt a map name only. Jefi"reys, 1755, gives Sterling Bay, 

 taken, perhaps, from Alexander (see j). 199). 



Chamcook. — In Passamaquoddy, K'tchum^-cook or Skam-cook (Chamberlain). 

 Many meanings have been given, but none are certain. Mr. J. Vroom 

 suggests Kchamkuk, Kchee, big, amk, gravel (beach), and uk, location, which 

 would apply to the great bar there. As Chamkook, in the Boyd Journal of 

 1763 (Kilby, p. 107). In the Owen Journal, 1770, it is spelled as now and 

 applied to the harbour, which is probably correct. Extended also to 

 Ministers Id., the hill and lakes. There is no evidence to connect it with 

 Connosquamcook, the Passamaquoddy name for St- Andrews. Compare
