The Exile
Origins | Acadia | The Exile | Resettlement | Canadian Acadians | Cajun History
About 6,000 Acadians were exiled from Port Royal, 
Grand Pre, and Beaubassin in 1755.  Over 3,000 more 
were exiled after the fall of Louisbourg in 1758. When 
the war ended in 1763, the Exile was technically over.

The first exile (1755) sent Acadians to the American Colonies and England (via Virginia).
The 1758 exile sent Acadians to France.
Between 1755 and 1785, Acadians migrated to several other locations.
