What is the origin of "Acadia?" The term "Acadia" derives from historical descriptions first used by fishermen and traders brought across the Atlantic Ocean to France by explorers in service to Henry IV.
In our own day, many believe that the term is derived from the native Mi'kmaq term akadie or cadie, meaning a piece of land (generally with a positive connotation), which was rendered l'Acadie by the French who explored and settled present-day Maine and Maritime Canada. George B. Dorr's inquiries led him to conclude that "the word Acadia has never had a place in English geographic usage…the French word was Acadie, not Acadia.. [and] that after the treaty of Utrecht in 1713…the name even in the French form creased to apply to any region except historically."
In 1929, NPS Director Stephen T. Mather embraced the historic lineage of the Native American term, emphasizing that in renaming Lafayette National Park the federal government now prioritized a geographic term that was in use "before recorded explorations of the area by either the French or the English." ![](https://image1.8264.com/wen/public/20240428/1714283714329.jpg!t3w825h0)
