The area that would become the Town of Stephenville was once known as the Acadian Village and stretched along the coast from Kippens in the west to Seal Cove in the east. Early settlers were mainly Roman Catholics, who were escaping poverty and feuding between the English and French in Nova Scotia. The self-sustaining local economy was based on rich farming and fishing resources, as well as hunting.
