Kouchibouguac is a community in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Kouchibouguac is also home to Kouchibouguac National Park.
Kouchibouguac is a corruption, partially through the French, of the Micmac Pijeboogwek, meaning "long tideway river"- a descriptive for the length of the river's tidal estuary. The name was adopted for the region's national park in 1971.[1]
