Ste Croix (US-Canadian river)

    0.03 sec.

Ste Croix

River forming the boundary between Maine, USA, and New Brunswick, Canada, from its origin in the Chiputneticook Lakes to Passamaquoddy Bay, opposite Novia Scotia; length 121 km/75 mi.

History

Textile milling and hydroelectric development have been important at Calais, Maine-St Stephen, New Brunswick. In 1604 Samuel de Champlain and the Sieur de Monts established the first French settlement in North America here on Dochet (Ste Croix) Island, southeast of Calais; after a harsh winter, the colony moved to Port Royal, in modern Nova Scotia.
