Shepody, New Brunswick

Shepody is a rural community in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada, situated on Shepody Bay, along Route 114 between Hopewell Hill and Lower Cape to the east.

Shepody or Chipoudie also distinguishes the area corresponding to the French period Acadian settlement, which populated both sides of the River by the same name, with its centre located north of the estuary at today's Hopewell Hill.

The name, which legend has it originates in Champlain's visit to the bay, is used in reference to places in both Westmorland and Albert county territorial divisions.

Shepody is a short distance west of the former Acadian settlement centre, and has a population of approximately twenty.
