In the Bible we read in Genesis about Nimrod. Well, Nimrod's people built several cities and one of these was Accad and from here we have the Accadians (Akkadians). These people were originally Cimmerians and came from the north.
The Accadians were basically the first farmers and many of the early implements of farming were of their origin. They were also the first god-worshippers and this included a pantheon of gods dedicated to individual causes rather than worship of the Creator that exists today.

The Island or the Province? The island probably formed in the last ice age in which the Gulf of St. Lawrence was shaped by glacier action. Prince Edward Island was discovered by Jaques Cartier in 1534 and was settled by Accadians therafter; and became a British Colony in the Treaty of Paris of 1763. PEI became a Canadian Province in 1873.
