Wellington Parish

Few places in New Brunswick have a history as closely tied to Acadian settlement along the Bouctouche River as Wellington Parish. This rural parish in Kent County lies near the Northumberland Strait, where river marshes, woodland and farmland meet the coast. French remains central to local life, reflecting the Acadian presence across southeastern New Brunswick. Nearby Bouctouche is known for Le Pays de la Sagouine, a cultural site inspired by the work of Acadian author Antonine Maillet. The Bouctouche Dune, a long sand formation, helps shelter Bouctouche Bay.
