In Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada, next door to Maine, there is a "Skedaddle Ridge."
I was told that it got its name from the fact that some citizens of Maine skedaddled across the border to avoid being pressed into military service during one of the early American conflicts. I thought it was the War of Independence but it must have been the Civil War.
The name was mentioned often during the early 70's as new skedaddlers settled in the county.
