History of Saint-Pierre-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud, Québec, Canada

Early settlement
During 1696, a certain Lecolombier settled in the territory, but only stayed there for a very short time. It was especially at the beginning of the 18th century that the colonization of the place took place with the construction of a chapel in 1713 north of the Rivière du Sud, thanks to the gift of land by Pierre Blanchet made in 1709 and whose generosity will be extended by his widow, Marianne Fournier (1713) and her son Jean in 1716 who will give substantial donations.

A priest settled in these places from 1751, the year of the laying of the first stone of the Church. The recognition of the pioneers could not be better expressed than by placing the parish, whose limits were fixed in 1722 and which was canonically erected in 1848, under the protection of Saint Peter in honor of Pierre Blanchet.
