Saint-Cuthbert

Saint-Cuthbert is a municipality in Quebec, Canada, located between Montreal and Trois-Rivieres, just north of Berthierville. It is part of the D'Autray Regional County Municipality in the Lanaudière administrative region. The population as of the 2021 Canadian census was 1,821.

The area had its first settlers as early as 1740. In 1766, James Cuthbert [fr] (ca. 1719-1798), member of General Murray's staff and lord of the Berthier seignory, donated land to build a church, provided that its patron saint was Saint Cuthbert.

In 1845, the Municipality of Saint Cuthbert was originally established, but abolished in 1847. It was reestablished as a parish municipality in 1855. In 1851, its post office opened. In 1912, Saint-Cuthbert ceded part of its territory to create the Parish Municipality of Saint-Viateur.

On January 7, 1998, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Cuthbert and the Parish Municipality of Saint-Viateur merged to form the Municipality of Saint-Cuthbert.
