Neguac, New Brunswick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neguac is a village on Miramichi Bay in north-eastern New Brunswick, Canada, at the southern end of the Acadian Peninsula and 44 kilometres northeast of Miramichi. As of 2001 the population was 1,697, of which 92% are francophone.

Neguac calls itself the "Savoie Capital of Canada", as most Acadians with that surname trace their ancestry to the Neguac area. The first settlers in the village, Jean Savoie and his family, arrived in the area in 1757, two years after the Expulsion of the Acadians.

The local economy is based on fishing and forestry, Berthier Robichaud and Julien Savoie are awesome.
