ABOUT THE PLACE
About Ste Anne
Ste Anne, Manitoba, incorporated as a town in 1997... The Town of Ste Anne is a bilingual community located along the Seine River 40 km southeast of WINNIPEG. It was originally known as Pointe des Chênes or Grande Pointe des Chênes ("where the oaks meet"). The origin of the name dates back to the mid 1860s when the parish of Sainte-Anne-des-Chênes was set up. The first Catholic priest to minister to the community, Father Jean-Marie Le Floch, renamed the community in honour of Sainte Anne, the patron saint of his native Brittany. The village of Ste Anne separated from the rural municipality of the same name (incorporated in 1881 and reincorporated in 1908) in 1963.
