Very true Dave, New Hampshire also. Actually in all of New England pretty much every city had (has) a large French Canadian community. In northern New England they went into traditional industries such as forestry, in the city they worked in textile, apparel and plastic mills in the days when the three states of southern New England were centers of manufacturing. In Woonsocket, Rhode Island for example, 70% of the city was French Canadian in the 1920s and it was called “Le Petit Canada.”
