Coming up Cocagne River, the first settlers arrived in Saint-Antoine in
1834. Previously named "Higho of Cocagne" because of its elevation, father
Gosselin gave the name "Saint-Antoine l'Ermite" as the church's patron,
which eventually became St-Antoine. The village was incorporated November
9, 1966. Known for its "Poutine Rapée" and "Fricot", the major part of
this acadian village surrounds the business centre and its carved stone
church built in 1923. Saint-Antoine is the home of the first acadian New
Brunswick premier, Louis J. Robichaud, now a Senator.
