Morden

Morden was originally known as "French Cross". In the late summer of 1755, Acadian settlers from around Annapolis discovered that the Acadians at Grand Pré had been taken prisoner and were to be deported. The remaining Acadians left their homes and headed eastward through the woods. After a long difficult journey they arrived at Morden just as winter was settling in. Many of the Acadians died through the winter and by spring only a few of the settlers were left.
