The Exile

View Acadian History - Grand Derangement Locations in a larger map |
About 6,000 Acadians
were exiled from Port Royal, Grand Pre, and Beaubassin
in 1755 to the American Colonies and England (via Virginia). Over 3,000 more
were exiled after the fall
of Louisbourg in 1758 and sent to France. When the war ended in 1763,
the Exile was technically over. Between 1755 and 1785,
Acadians migrated to several other locations. |
• The
1755 Exile |
| • The
1758 Exile |
| • The
"End" of the Exile |
Beginning in 2005, a number of monuments were erected to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the exile. |
