Teafield, large and small (La Terre Noir)
An area of wet, marshy, black peat bog in the
St-Anicet/St-Barbe area. A map from 1839 shows a large area
halfway between Huntingdon and Lake St-Francis as Teafield Swamp.
Attempts have been made to drain them and use them for farming
and as a result, the area has been greatly reduced in size. Two
remaining areas of bogland have been proposed as ecological
reserves. One, designated the Large Teafield, is located 2.8mi
(4.4km) SSW of St-Barbe Village, between Chemin de l'Eglise and
Chemin Teafield. (45.13N/74.21W) The other, designated the Small
Teafield, is located 3.5mi (5.6km) east of St-Anicet Village, in
the First Concession (St-Anicet) between the Delmont Range and
the Quesnel Concession Road. (45.14N/74.29W) Origin of name is
interesting. According to Sellar, a surveying party stopped to
camp for the night and were having supper. One of the party, on
account of a near fatal accident that day, proposed that they
should name the place. It was agreed that it should be known as
Teafield - from their having partaken of their supper upon it. I
would have thought that the name came from the typical brown
water that permeates the black peat bog. The former makes a
better story.

Jamestown end (now Ormstown) was called Upper Tullochgorum and
the South Georgetown end (now Très-St-Sacrement) used to
be called Lower Tullochgorum. The origin of the name is Gaelic
meaning a "grassy meadow" which would be appropriate but local
lore has a slightly different origin. When the road was first
opened through the concession, the settlers had a party and when
asked what the musicians should play, the host chose
"Tullochgorum", a scottish strachan (similar to a reel but
slower). The tune is still quite popular with Celtic musicians.
And so the road was named or so the locals say.
