History
The river and Panuke Lake were used as an important portage route first by the Mi'kmaq and later by European explorers and settlers. There is an unpopulated Indian reserve (St Croix Indian Reserve) on the lake.
European settlement began with the Acadians (who named the river, calling the region Pisiguit).
