About
Partridge Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay, off the northeast shore of Deer Island. As of 1983 the island was owned by Nellie Holmes.
It is the site of two shell middens, BgDr48 and BgDr49, that have been studied and dated between 400 BC to 500 AD. The time required for ancient natives to travel by canoe to the island has been measured.
The island has been identified as one of those written about in the 1604 writings of Samuel Champlain and Sieur de Monts.
