Shediac is a community of firsts! New Brunswick’s first steam sawmill was built here, the first passenger railroad in the Maritimes was located here, and New Brunswick’s first shipbuilding company was founded here. And with such a vibrant and rich Acadian heritage, it’s also not surprising that the first Congrès Mondial Acadian (Acadian World Congress) was held here.
Shediac was originally called La Batture. Later the name was changed to Shediac to refer to the city’s location in the basin of the Shediac River. The name “Shediac” itself derives from the Micmac word Esedeiik, meaning “one who comes from far away,” possibly about Shediac Bay or the flow of the Petitcodiac River.
