PLACE-NAMES OF NOVA SCOTIA
Doucette Settlement, after David Doucette, who settled there in 1830.
FRENCH VALE (C. B.)—Nearly all the present settlers of French Vale trace their origin from four brothers who were French Acadians, and came from Prince Edward Island early in the nineteenth century.
FRENCH VILLAGE BROOK (Col.)—When Winslow's soldiers were hunting the French Acadians in these parts in 1775 some of them fled up Salmon River to a brook, which has ever since been called French Village Brook.
FROSTFISH COVE (H.)—This place received its name owing to the tom-cod being plentiful in its waters. It is interesting to note that tom-cod is a corruption of a Canadian French word "tacaud" meaning plenty fish, and is of Indian origin.
