Memramcook, sometimes also spelled Memramcouke or Memramkouke, is a village in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada.

Located in south-eastern New Brunswick, the community is predominantly people of Acadian descent who speak the Chiac derivative of the French language.

The Collège Saint-Joseph was the first francophone university in the east of Canada, which opened its doors in 1864 and hosted/organized the first National Acadian Convention in 1881.

The village name is originally Mi'kmaq and means "variegated" referring to the many intricacies of the Memramcook River.

[4] The missionaries turned it into Memerancook, Memerancooque (1757), Memeramcook (1803), Memramkook (1812), Mamramcook (1812) and finally Memramcook.

Mi'kmaq people were already established in the region for a couple hundred years before the Acadians arrived.

Beaumont was a strategic location, giving that it allowed them to control the Petitcodiac River, the most important marine transport route in the region.

Knockout, Bernard, Skéouite, Toudoi, Argémiche, Thomas and others were the common family names at the time.

In 1612, Father Biard, Charles de Biencourt and their four Native American guides returned to visit Memramcook.

In 1672, Acadian and European word-runners and fishers started to frequent the area and some stayed to establish themselves.

The village developed much more quickly after the signing of the Utrecht Treaty, which gave Acadia to England in 1713.

Residents were also starting to construct the famous dyke system to dry out the marshes for agriculture.

There were the Blanchards, Richards, Lanoues, Dupuis, Benoîts, Landrys, LeBlancs, Aucoins, Maillets, Girouards, Forests, Daigles, Savoies, Robichaud, Bastaraches, Heberts, Deslauriers, Cyrs, Bourques and Thibodeaus.

Then, on August 26, Lieutenant Boishébert of Miramichi and 125 soldiers and a group of Miꞌkmaq, surprised 200 Englishmen, under the command of Major Joseph Frye.

Boishébert gave the order to attack at the moment that the English were setting fire to the church of Petitcodiac.

[2] After the deportation, Memramcook Village became even more important to Acadia, as much for its population of 75 families in 1786 but also as a symbol of Acadian heritage.

The property ownership conflict was fully resolved in 1841 and ratified in 1842, and habitants of the Pointe could buy land at the price of $1 per acre.

The Mi'kmaqs of Memramcook organized themselves more and more towards 1830 to combat social issues and difficulties related to weather and natural causes.

In 1854, Father François-Xavier Stanislas Lawrence founded the Saint-Thomas seminary, the first francophone college of Acadia.

Acadia was taken over by the British in 1713, but the freedom afforded to the north of the Mesagoueche River, including Memramcook, was still contested.
