History
editThe place is named after the Battle of Inkerman in the Crimean War.[1]
The area was once served by the Caraquet and Gulf Shore Railway, a section of which ran between Tracadie and Shippagan.[2] In 2017, a 500 metre former railway bridge, then being used as part of the Sentier NB Trail, was destroyed by fire.[3]
