The first European settlers in the Tatamagouche area were the French Acadians, who settled the area in the early-1700s, and Tatamagouche became a transshipment point for goods bound for Fortress Louisbourg.

Ten years later, on August 25, 1765, the land that became Tatamagouche was given to British military mapmaker Colonel Joseph Frederick Wallet DesBarres by.
