From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Demoiselle Creek is a Canadian rural community in Albert County, New Brunswick.
Located in Hillsborough Parish (source), the community derives its name from the creek that runs through it. With approximately 50 residents, the community is bordered by the communities of Curryville and Albert Mines.
[edit] History
The community was originally called Cape Demoiselle (or one of about 6 varitions of the name "Demoiselle") and covered an area of approximately 4 square miles. The actual geographic feature known as Cape Demoiselle was renamed Hopewell Cape.
The name "Demoiselle" means "little girl" in French. It was named by a ship captain for a rock formation that resembled a young woman's figure. Like many small communities, Demoiselle is a sparsly populated rural community.
