Cocagne is a Canadian rural community in Kent County, New Brunswick.

History

{{See also|History of New Brunswick|List of historic places in Kent County, New Brunswick}}

It was named after Cockaigne, a mythical paradise in medieval French literature.[5] It is located at the mouth of the Cocagne River on the Northumberland Strait.

William Francis Ganong identified the Mi'kmaq name as Wijulmacadie, referring to a plant found along the river.

In 1866 Cocagne was a farming community with about 65 families: in 1871 the community and surrounding district had a population of 900: in 1898 Cocagne was a sub-port of entry with a population of 250. A post office branch has been located here since 1837.[6]
