Albert County

A small, rugged and sparsely-populated county in the southeast corner of the province, it is dominated by the Caledonia hills and commands the approaches to Shepody Bay and the mouth of the Petitcodiac River. Today, it is home to the popular Fundy National Park.

The Seven Years’ War and associated infamous Acadian deportations made themselves felt along the Petitcodiac River in 1755 where, in what is now Hillsborough, French marines and Acadians fought off a British colonial landing party.
