Nigadoo (Belle-Baie)
Nigadoo
Nigadoo is a picturesque village located between Beresford and Petit-Rocher, just 9 km (5.6 mi.) from Bathurst. Long before the Acadians arrived in the region, the Mi'gmaq had discovered the natural shelter offered by the banks of the river and had named the place Nigadoo, meaning hiding place or refuge, in their native language. The village was incorporated in 1967 and is now home to over 1,000 inhabitants. It is both a residential and vacation community where life is good.
