Acadia (disambiguation)

Not to be confused with Arcadia.

Under the French, most of what is now Nova Scotia was called Acadia, or Acadie in French. The British expelled many of the French settlers and most of them went to Louisiana; the term Cajun originated from Acadian.

There is more than one place called Acadia:
