Key Information
History
[edit]Around 1840, the first settlers arrived from Lachenaie, Saint-Sulpice, and Saint-Jacques-de-l'Achigan. The place was known as Village Beaupré until 1870, after Joseph-Édouard Beaupré (1817-1880), who built the first sawmill on the site and donated the land for the construction of the chapel. In 1848, the parish of Sainte-Julienne-de-Rawdon was created, named in honour of Juliana Falconieri, while Rawdon refers to its location within the geographic township of Rawdon. In 1853, its post office opened.[2]
In 1855, the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Julienne-de-Rawdon was established, with Joseph-Édouard Beaupré as first mayor.[2]
In 1910, telephone service was installed, followed by electricity in the village centre in 1913.[6]
In 1967, the municipal name was shortened to just Sainte-Julienne, and in 1998, its status changed from parish municipality to (regular) municipality.[2]
