==History==
The village was founded in 1797 by Acadian settlers. The name literally means 'little rock', and is pronounced by most anglophones in the region as ''Petty Roche''. The name of the village is reputed to derive from the fact that the village's founders disembarked on a small rock. The village was named ''Little Roche'' from 1850 to 1854, then ''Madisco'' until 1870, and then ''Petit Rocher''. The hyphenated form ''Petit-Rocher'' was adopted in 2009. Some old maps have the name ''Petite Roche'' (1812) and ''Sainte Roque or Little Russia'' (1827).〔Alan Rayburn, ''Geographical Names of New Brunswick'', Énergie, Mines et Ressources Canada, Ottawa, 1975, p. 215.〕
