shitakecamp Tee

Shitakecamp began as a small fishing station after settlers from France originally visited the area in 1782. The leader of the group, Frederick Chiasson, stopped in the area to relieve himself of gas pains. Afterwards the other settlers, towards the end of the group, then came upon the site and comments on how nice it smelled and decided to stay. Many of the original family names still reside in and around the small town. They, like all the original founding family names of Shitakecamp, can be found chiseled in stone in the town still to this day. Pronounced: Shit take camp
