Nova Scotia Tourism Region : Cape Breton Island
Description From Owner:
- Simon Le Poupet de La Boularderie (1674-1738) was commandant at Port d'Orléans from 1719-38. In appreciation for this he was granted by France the island that now bears his name and the adjacent E shore of the La Petit Brador (St. Andrews Channel).
- His efforts and those of his son Antoine to colonize the 43-km-long (27-mile) island and his mainland holdings were not very successful. The community of Boularderie takes its name from the island, which on a 1744 map is shown as Isle de Verderone.
