Adding Hibernia to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Hibernia was on a map titled Map of Maritime Provinces of Canada (from Rand McNally, 1897).
