History

[edit]

The area was settled in the early nineteenth century by Irish, Scottish and English immigrants. To the east of Stonehaven are Grande Anse and Caraquet, which were settled by Acadians.

Industry in Stonehaven in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries included quarrying of sandstone for grindstones by the Read Stone Company, family farming, inshore fishing, and lobster canning. With the depletion of cod stocks, fishing is largely confined to lobster.
