Chéticamp on the Cabot Trail started as a fishing station used
during the summer months by Charles Robin, a merchant from the
island of Jersey and is considered one of the Acadian capitals of
the world. In the years following the Great Expulsion many Acadians
came to this area. The first permanent settlers, the families of
Pierre Bois and Joseph Richard, came to the area in 1782. The
settlement was established in 1785 by a grant of land to the 14
original settlers. Today the area, which is at the entrance of the
Cape Breton Highlands National Park, is a popular tourist spot.
The local beach named La Plage St. Pierre gives the locals as
well as the many tourists a great place for swimming, camping, and
many other recreational activities. Cheticamp is rich in Acadian
hospitality
