城市概覽

History In the fall of 1665, Charles Du Jay, Vicomte de Manereuil, settled in the company of soldiers and officers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment at the mouth of the large Rivière du Loup, on the north shore of Lac Saint-Rock. Some of these soldiers decide to settle permanently in the territory of the Seigneurie de la Rivière du Loup. In 1721, the Parish of Saint-Antoine-de-la-Rivière-du-Loup was incorporated. The village grew slowly, thanks to the construction of Chemin du Roy on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. It was later named the Town of Louiseville, in honour of Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939), who was the sixth of Queen Victoria's children and wife of the Governor General of Canada.

Municipal authorities designated a street in honor of Marcelle Ferron.
