ABOUT THE PLACE

About Laurierville

Laurierville, Québec, Canada - Laurierville, Québec, Canada - Petit Cafe du Coin
The first settler in the area was Laurent Poliquin, who cleared a 4-acre parcel of land on what is now the 9th rang. Others arrived in the early 1840s. They named the area Rivière-Noire, after the stream that ran through their land. In 1845, the Sainte-Julie-de-Somerset mission was founded.

Gradually, the parish's nucleus gradually grew into a village. On 19 December 1902, the village became an independent legal entity and took the name of Laurierville.
