Description
Port-Royal (Acadia)
Port-Royal
was a settlement on the site of modern-day
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia
, part of the French colony of
Acadia
. It was founded in 1632, almost twenty years after
Habitation at Port-Royal
was destroyed. For most of the period until the
Siege of Port Royal
by the
Kingdom of Great Britain
in 1710, the village was the capital of Acadia.
[1]
Port-Royal was the primary Acadian settlement until Acadians migrated out of the community to
Pisiguit
,
Cobequid
,
Grand Pre
, and
Beaubassin
(
Isthmus of Chignecto
) in the 1680s.
