It is the last vestige of New France in or near North America. It appears that it went back and forth between England and France during the 18th and 19th centuries in various treaties. Its population is a little over 6000 people. The last time it was “important” was in World War II, when the (Vichy) French government was collaborating with the Germans. A German airfield there would have been a big threat to the northeastern US.
