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.'
  • With permission from 'Prince Edward Island Place Names' David E. Scott 2011
