Not to be confused with Arcadia.

Under the French, most of what is now Nova Scotia was called Acadia, or Acadie in French. The British expelled many of the French settlers and most of them went to Louisiana; the term Cajun originated from Acadian.

There is more than one place called Acadia:

North America

• Acadia — a historic region corresponding roughly to Canada's Maritime Provinces and much of the U.S. state of Maine

United States of America

• Acadia National Park, in Maine
• The Acadian Coast of Louisiana
  • Acadia Parish — includes the towns of Crowley and Rayne in Acadiana, Louisiana.
