Caraquet is a town in Gloucester County, New Brunswick. Situated on the shore of Chaleur Bay in the Acadian Peninsula, its name is derived from the Mi’kmaq term for the meeting of two rivers. The Caraquet River and Rivière du Nord flow into the Caraquet Bay west of the town.

Caraquet began to develop in 1758 when 34 Acadian families—fleeing the Deportation of 1755—led by Alexis Landry settled in the Sainte-Anne-du-Bocage area.
