Evergreen, New Brunswick

Evergreen, formerly known as Squaw Cap, is an unincorporated community in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.

History

William Francis Ganong identified the Mi'kmaq name for Evergreen as Peedamkee'jos.
The community was renamed Evergreen in January 2024, as the previous name of Squaw Cap was deemed inappropriate, due to its association with the pejorative indigenous-related term "squaw". The nearby mountain of the same name was returned to its traditional Mi'kmaq name of Meto'mqwijuig Mountain.
