Geschiedenis
Chéticamp's roots trace back to Acadian settlers in the 18th century, who relied on fishing and farming for their livelihoods. The village developed around its harbor, which provided access to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and facilitated trade.
Over the years, the local economy shifted from fishing to tourism, especially as visitors flocked to the nearby national park. Today, Chéticamp is recognized for its cultural heritage, particularly in rug hooking and Acadian music.
