Hector d'Andigné de Grandfontaine (baptized 17 May 1627; died 6 July 1696) was a French naval officer who served as the governor of Acadia from 1670 to 1673.
His grandfather, Gaston d’Andigné, received the Grandfontaine property and it was added to the family name.
[1] Grandfontaine offered to lead a company in order to obtain land in Quebec, but was sent to Acadia instead.
[1] He arrived in North America the following year[2] and went to Boston to receive the letters of restitution of Acadia from the previous British governor, Thomas Temple.
He brought supplies to the colony and removed a controversial seigneur, asking the population to wait until a government official could come to their towns to judge their concerns.
[1] He was aboard the Glorieux during an expedition to capture Cayenne for the French empire and was the person to enter the town, subsequently becoming wounded in the arm.
