History

edit

Settlement of the area started at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1804, the first lots were granted. In 1821, the area was officially surveyed and settlers began arriving in larger numbers.[5]

In 1848, the parish of St. Urbain Premier was formed, named after Pope Urban I, who reigned from 222 to 230AD. In 1853, its post office opened, and two years later, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Urbain-Premier was founded. In 1876, the post office was renamed to Saint-Urbain-de-Châteauguay, in order to distinguish it from Saint-Urbain in the Charlevoix region.[1]

In 1997, the parish municipality changed statutes to became a regular municipality.[1]
