Description From Owner:
- The name originates with the Micmac Sepaguncheech which has been translated as 'duck passage,' reference to a migratory flight path.
- It appears on a 1755 map as Chipagan. The name Shippagan applied to the island until it was changed by petition in 1974 to ile Lameque. Shippagan is the name of the nearby town and Haut ('upper') Shippagan.
