Cadillac Mountain (Maine, USA) - 1533 ft/467 m
(E?)(L?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Mountain
...
Before being renamed in 1918, the mountain had been called "Green Mountain". The new name honors the French explorer and adventurer, "Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac". In 1688, De la Mothe requested and received from the Governor of New France a parcel of land in an area known as Donaquec which included part of the Donaquec River (now the Union River) and the island of Mount Desert in the present-day U.S. state of Maine. "Antoine Laumet de La Mothe", a shameless self-promoter who had already appropriated the "de la Mothe" portion of his name from a local nobleman in his native Picardy, thereafter referred to himself as "Antoine de la Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, Donaquec, and Mount Desert".

L'île Sainte-Croix au fil des siècles
XVIe siècle
Les Passamaquoddy nomment de nombreux endroits de l'estuaire de la rivière Sainte-Croix : "Shoodic" désigne la rivière Sainte-Croix alors que l'île porte le nom de "Muttoneguis". La signification la plus plausible de ce nom serait un endroit où entreposer des choses; l'île était un lieu sécuritaire pour entreposer de la nourriture à l'abri des animaux. Les Passamaquoddy ont dû visiter l'île à quelques reprises, celle-ci étant située au coeur de leur territoire traditionnel.
XVIIe siècle
En 1604, les Français débarquent sur l'île. La rivière Shoodic devient la rivière "Sainte-Croix" en raison de son "réseau cruciforme". L'île porte maintenant le nom d'île Sainte-Croix et les colons défrichent une parcelle de terrain pour y construire une habitation. Des jardins sont ensemencés, un puits est creusé et un moulin à eau est construit. Au total, 19 bâtiments de bois forment l'habitation de l'île Sainte-Croix.
...
XVIIIe siècle
L'île porte à cette époque le nom d'"île Dochet", en l'honneur de Theodosia "Dosia" qui s'y rendait souvent. D'autres la nomment, dans les années 1770, "Bone Island" en raison des os qui sortent du cimetière.
...
XIXe siècle
Toujours connu sous le nom de l'"île Dochet", elle porte, au cours des décennies, différents surnoms : "Île Neutre" (1810), "Grande ou Grosse Île" (1820), "Île des Os" (1830) et "Île Demonts" (1860-1870). Sur une carte du Maine, elle est même identifiée par son nom passamaquoddy "Muttonenguis".
...
Puis en 1812, le commerce entre les États-Unis et l'Angleterre est interdit et l'île sert de lieu de contrebande. Elle est alors nommée l'"île Neutre".
...
Le 8 juin 1949, le Congrès américain désigne l'île Sainte-Croix comme monument national, reconnaissant ainsi la signification et l'importance historiques de la région. Quelques années plus tard, en 1967, le Service national des parcs achète l'île de la Garde côtière américaine et les terrains détenus par des propriétaires privés. Finalement, le 25 septembre 1984, le Congrès reconnaît la signification historique que représente l'île pour les États-Unis et le Canada : l'île Sainte-Croix est maintenant un lieu historique international.
