The Acadian Exodus (also known as the Acadian migration) happened during Father Le Loutre's War (1749–1755) and involved almost half of the total Acadian population of Nova Scotia deciding to relocate to French controlled territories. The three primary destinations were: the west side of the Mesagoueche River in the Chignecto region (near the modern New Brunswick-Nova Scotia border), Isle Saint-Jean (now Prince Edward Island) and Île-Royale (now Cape Breton Island).
