History
See also: History of New Brunswick and List of historic places in Restigouche County, New BrunswickWilliam Francis Ganong identified the Mi'kmaq name for Evergreen as Peedamkee'jos.
The community was renamed Evergreen in January 2024, as the name previously attributed to the community contained a racial slur. The nearby mountain of the same name was returned to the traditional Mi'kmaq name of Meto'mqwijuig Mountain.
