Grandique Ferry is a former community in Richmond County, Nova Scotia.
Currently classed a "locality" by the provincial government, it is situated on the northern shore of the Lennox Passage near Louisdale, opposite Grandique Point on Isle Madame.
It was Grandique Ferry that had the mission according to Bishop John Cameron, in an article in the May 22, 1969, edition of the Antigonish Casket.
He wrote that the idea was eventually when a cleric was available to establish a parish to administer to the people of St. Peters Bay area from Grand Digue Ferry to L'Ardoise.
The seat of the diocese was transferred to Antigonish around 1886 and it happened under Bishop John Cameron.
Louisdale's (Grandique Ferry) population was added with all the route 320 places in the 19th century.
Maude Fixott and Nicholas White from PEI were married in Grandique Ferry on September 7, 1886.
[7] In the early 20th century, Grandique Ferry was still a separate settlement in Richmond County, Nova Scotia.
The Act stated, " The settlement or district in the county of Richmond, now known as Barachois, St. Louis, shall hereafter be known and designated Louisdale".
