About Saint-Jérôme

Saint-Jérôme, Québec, Canada - Saint-Jérôme, Québec, Canada - La Cie Rolland
Saint-Jérôme: A gateway to the Laurentides region, Saint-Jérôme is a vibrant city known for its cultural offerings and access to outdoor activities.

Saint-Jérôme is a suburban city located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northwest of Montreal on the Rivière du Nord.

The town is named after Saint Jerome (ca. 347 – September 30, 420), a church father best known as the translator of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin.

The territory where the present city of Saint-Jérôme now stands was granted in 1752 by the marquis de la Jonquière, governor of New France, as the seignory of Augmentation des Mille-Iles (literally "enlargement" of the seignory of Mille-Iles).
