Description From Owner:

The name Rustico originated with French settler René Rassicot who came from Avranches in Normandy and moved to the head of the Wheatley River that empties into Rustico Bay.
Early spellings for the place were Racica and Racico which gradually evolved into Rustico. Other names were Rivière Touboutouinée, Grand Rastico and Harris's Bay.
There was a major Mi'kmaq encampment here called Tabooetooetun, 'having two outlets.'
