In 1855, the municipality of the parish of Saint-Georges was reestablished.
The municipal name was that of the post office opened in 1827. The name of the English King George IV (1762-1830) retained for the Protestant parish of St.George of Henryville in 1794, commonly identified as St.George's, served as a pretext to evoke Saint George, a very important figure among Anglicans and Catholics alike.
