Acadia, New France

Acadia was a colony of New France which lasted from 1604 to 1713. It comprised parts of present day Maine and Canada, including Quebec, and the maritime provinces(Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick). It extended from from Present day Nova Scotia, all the way down to the Kennebec river in Present day Maine. The population of Acadia was Largely French, though some Acadians also had Wabanaki lines, due to inter-marriages of Wabanaki indians with the french.
