History
Jacquet River has a very strong history with many families having deep roots there, including the Guitard, Gauthier, Devereaux, Joncas, Cormier, Furlotte, Meade, Lapointe, Carriers, Hickey, Mallaley, Kelly, Dempsey, McNair, Driscoll, Culligan Doyle, and Legacy.
In 1994, the Village of Jacquet River, along with a few unincorporated communities, amalgamated with the Village of Belledune to form a larger village known as Belledune: "The Super Village".
Jacquet River is a multilingual community, being on Mi'kma'ki Territory and colonized by French, English, and Dutch settlers. Most people agree that Jacquet River got its name for the famous French explorer, Jacques Cartier, who landed around this area.
