Kinsale (also Kinsale Settlement, North Tetagouche)

Gloucester County, Province of New Brunswick

The Community of Kinsale, in Gloucester County, was originally settled in the early 19^th century. 

Although Irish immigrants to New Brunswick came from virtually every county of Ireland over time, this area of Gloucester County was primarily settled by Irish immigrants from County Cork resulting in early Gloucester County settlements of Kinsale, Bandon, Youghal and Black Rock, among others, as the settlers paid homage to their communities back in the ‘old country’.

History of Kinsale Settlement:

Several years ago, a local New Brunswick historian provided a short article on the history of Kinsale Settlement and some of its early residents.  You can read her brief history of the community here:
