Bridgewater

Initially mapped and named by Samuel de Champlain in 1604, Cape le Heve was the first place he sighted in North America, and the first capital of New France from 1632-1636. Isaac de Razilly led an expedition to establish a permanent civilian colony in Acadia in 1632, after Acadia was returned to French control. He chose le Heve. Land was cleared, houses built, livestock imported, and settlers arrived in 1634. These French settlers at LeHave, Foreign Protestants at Lunenburg (1753) and subsequent British colonists have all influenced the development of the town.
