Cascapédia–Saint-Jules
Cascapédia–Saint-Jules is a municipality in Quebec, Canada. The municipality includes the communities of Grande-Cascapédia and Saint-Jules, both located along the Cascapédia River. History On June 2, 1999, the Municipalities of Grande-Cascapédia and Saint-Jules were merged to form the Municipality of Cascapédia. It was renamed to Cascapédia–Saint-Jules on June 26, 2000. Grande-Cascapédia Kigicapigiak had been a Mi'kmaq summer coastal community prior to European settlement. Grande-Cascapédia was formed in the mid 19th century. Named after the adjacent river, originally called Cascapédiac, this name is from the Mi'kmaq words ''kaska'' (broad) and ''pegiag'' (river). In 1860, the local parish was established that 3 years later counted some 1500 inhabitants, and in 1883, its post office opened. In 1929, the place was incorporated as a municipality. Another theory on the etymology is that it was named for the Mi'kmaq word ''kěskebeâk'' which means "wide paddle." Sain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
