1832 - The Parish of Ange Gardien, Cote de Beaupre,
by a regulation of Feb. 20, 1721, confirmed by a decree of Mar. 3, 1722, extends 1 1/ 2 l. along the St. Lawrence and is bounded W. by the R. Montmorencie, E. by the R. du Petit-Pre which separates it from the P. of Chateau Richer; it comprehends the whole depth of that part of the S. All the farms in the P. were conceded previous to 1759, each extending 3 arpents in front by 1 1/ 2 league in depth, at the rate of 20 sols for each front arpent. This parish is populous and well settled and the main road, passing along the eminence almost fronting the river, presents a number of very good houses on each side, which, with those on the rising grounds more in the interior, have a most picturesque effect. Many young agriculturists have left this P. and that of Chateau Richer and settled in the districts of Montreal and Three Rivers; but none go to the townships.

1882-84 - L'Ange-Gardien
L'Ange Gardien lies just beyond the famous Falls of Montmorency. Set in trees on the slope of the hills, which here grow close on the river, and standing high over the north channel, the village commands an exquisite view, the placid beauty of which makes "The Guardian Angel" a most appropriate name. The spot has not always had such peaceful associations. Wolfe's troops, those "Eraser's Highlanders" who afterwards turned their swords into ploughshares so effectually that their descendants at Murray Bay and Kamouraska are French even to having forgotten their fathers' language, ravaged this parish and Chateau Richer from one end to the other, destroyed all the crops, and burned almost every house. There is little trace of the devastation now, except in the stories that old habitans have heard their elders tell. Two quaint little chapels stand one on each side, a few arpens from the parish church. They were originally intended for mortuary chapels during the winter, when the frost... Read MORE...
