In 1893, the traveler Raoul Renault asserted that the sumptuous appearance of New Carlisle denoted the presence of people in better fortune than elsewhere in Gaspesia. He affirmed, "The main characteristic of this village is the neatness that is seen everywhere. All of the properties are surrounded by a nice trim fence; the residences and their surroundings are well maintained. Everything is in order and breathes easy, most likely well-being."
