Funnel shaped BAY of FUNDY, between the coasts of Nova Scotia and Maine, has the widest tidal range in the world, 55 feet. From high tide to low tide, water levels rise or fall 55 feet, leaving wide open mud flats where there was ocean just hours before.

The sudden change in the direction of the tide from low to high twice a day creates a wave called the Tidal Bore that fills in the Annapolis Basin, a phenomenon that exists nowhere else but here.

A BRIEF HISTORY

 Although Sieur De Monts and Samuel de Champlain established a trading post at Port-Royal in 1605 in what was then New France, the French hold over Acadia was fragile and intermittent until 1632 when the Treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye confirmed French possession of the region.

During the early 1630s, almost three hundred French immigrants arrived in the Port-Royal area.  With a high birth rate and low infant mortality, the population reached approximately 500 people in 1671, 1,400 in 1707, and about 13,000 people in the early 1750s.  From the initial core at Port-Royal, Acadian settlement spread around the Bay of Fundy as well as onto Île Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island) and to Pentagoet at the mouth of the Penobscot River in Maine.

The population depended on mixed farming and raising livestock and crops from dyked marshes. 

At the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, much of the area settled by the Acadians was transferred to the British who called the territory Nova Scotia. The British strengthened Port-Royal, renaming it Annapolis Royal, and then, in 1749, constructed a fortified town at Halifax;

With the outbreak of the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) in 1754, concerned at the large Acadian presence in the hinterland of Halifax and aware that many Acadians had refused to swear loyalty to the British crown, the military governor of Nova Scotia took the fateful decision to clear the Acadians from their settlements. A defining moment in the history of the Acadian people, the deportation also changed irrevocably the human geography of what is today Canada’s Maritime Provinces.       

The deportation of the Acadians from Nova Scotia and adjacent areas was to points around the Atlantic rim. Acadians were shipped to many points around the Atlantic.  Large numbers were deported to the continental colonies, others to France.  Some managed to escape to New France (Quebec).  A handful arrived in the Upper Saint John Valley.  Many moved several times; a great number left the American colonies at the end of the war and returned to Nova Scotia; many of those in France moved to the French Caribbean or  to Louisiana, where they formed the basis of the Cajun population.

Those Acadians who returned to Nova Scotia in the 1780s and 1790s found their former settlements occupied by American settlers and Loyalists.  As a result, the Acadians occupied new areas in western Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, the eastern shore of New Brunswick, and the Gaspé Peninsula.  In these areas, they drew a living from farming, inshore fishing, lumbering, and shipbuilding.
