 Pubnico
is located in what was called, before the Expulsion, CAPE SABLE, which,
even at the beginning, around 1614, had as its center what is now Port
La Tour, called then Port Lomeron, David Lomeron having here a trading
post, dealing with fur and fish. Charles de Biencourt, who was at the head
of the small group of Frenchmen of what was then Acadia, comprising the
south-western part of the peninsula, died around 1624. In 1631. Louis XIII
named as Governor of Acadia Charles de La Tour, who had been a faithful
companion of Charles de Biencourt. It is then that the name of Port Lomeron
was changed to the name of Port La Tour. He was named Governor of Acadia
again in 1651, while in France, from where he came back, bringing with
him Philippe Mius d'Entremont, who was to be his Major. It is Philippe
Mius d'Entremont who was to be the founder of Pubnico.
