Carleton-sur-Mer (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is the fifth largest town of the Gaspésie's south shore, in southeastern Quebec, Canada, located on Route 132, along Chaleur Bay. It is the seat of the Avignon Regional County Municipality.
The town's territory includes the communities of Biron, Caps-de-Maria, Carleton, Robitaille, and Saint-Omer.
History
The current City of Carleton-sur-Mer was created on October 4, 2000, when the town of Carleton and the parish municipality of Saint-Omer were merged. It was originally called Carleton–Saint-Omer, but renamed to Carleton-sur-Mer in 2005.[1]
Tracadigash/Carleton
Around 1756, seven families of exiled Acadians arrived in Tracadigash from Bonaventure and Restigouche, following their deportation from Beaubassin, Nova-Scotia, in 1755.[4] Charles Dugas and Benjamin LeBlanc (both from Grand Pré) were the original founders. In 1772, Abbé Joseph-Mathurin Bourg, the first accredited Acadien priest, arrived from Quebec City. He conducted the very first census of Tragadigash (recensement Tracadigache 1777) where he listed the following family names: Allard, Allain, Arseneau, Aubertin, Barriot, Bergeron, Berthelot, Boudreau, Bujold, Comeau, Cormier, Dugas, Francis, Landry, Leblanc, Poirier, Richard; totalling 177 persons.[5] A, later, three-page correspondence to the governor, dated 7 April 1784, described land use "Endorsed: A list of the inhabitants of Tracadigache and the quantity of land each inhabitant has improved" which averaged 3 to 12 arpents per man.
In 1787, American Loyalists found their way to Tracadigash which eventually resulted in the parish changing its name from Saint-Joseph de Tracadièche (Tracadièche is the French spelling of Tragadigash) to Saint-Joseph de Carleton in honour of General Guy Carleton.[6]
On October 4, 2000, the municipalities of Carleton and Saint-Omer were reunited after 100 years of separation and the new town thus formed was called Carleton–Saint-Omer.[1] On May 7, 2005, the name was officially changed to Carleton-sur-Mer.[1][7]
Saint-Omer
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".
After the arrival of the first Acadians in 1756, the territory of Saint-Omer was included in the Parish of Saint Joseph de Tracadièche and had a common history with Carleton. As more of the population shifted west, numbers eventually justified creating a new parish, and the Parish of Saint-Omer was finally approved by the government in 1902.[8]
For 100 years, Saint-Omer functioned as a distinct parish and municipality. Its economy depended largely on fishing, agriculture and forestry. Saint-Omer had its own elementary schools, but its teenagers attended Carleton's École Polyvalente (renamed École Antoine-Bernard in 1983).[9]
On October 4, 2000, the municipalities of Saint-Omer and Carleton were united to form Carleton-Saint-Omer.[1]
Saint-Louis de Gonzague
The small agricultural and forestry village of Saint-Louis de Gonzague, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Saint-Omer, was established in 1864 by the Government of Quebec to encourage economic development. The Biron section was shut down by the Quebec government in 1972. Five people remained residents of the village to work the land. In 2002, the Gaspé union paysanne held its yearly Fête de l'union paysanne gaspésienne there.[10]

Economy
Carleton's economy relied historically mostly on agriculture, fishing and forest products. The deep water wharf allowed for large international vessels to load lumber. Tourism was, from the very beginnings, a significant aspect of the economy due in large part to its beaches and warm water temperature.
Today, tourism has grown greatly and the economy has transformed to the point that tertiary sector jobs now represent 74% of the job market.
The Carleton Wind Farm was commissioned in 2008 and is contributing electricity to Hydro-Québec's grid.
