Chénéville
Chénéville () is a town and municipality in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada, part of the Papineau Regional County Municipality. History First settled in the middle of the 19th century, its first post office opened in 1864 under the name Sévigné, perhaps in honour of the Marquise de Sévigné (1626-1696). From 1876 to 1884, the post office was known as Hartwell, and from 1884 on, it became Chénéville. It could be that it was renamed in memory of a nephew of Hercule Chéné who was born around 1864. (Pierre Hercule Chéné (1834-1904) was mayor of Ripon-et-Hartwell, Hartwell-et-Suffolk, Hartwell, and Hartwell-et-Preston, and counsellor of Chénéville.) In 1903, the village separated from the United Township Municipality of Hartwell-et- Preston to form the Village Municipality of Chénéville, following a request from 55 citizens submitted to the Lieutenant Governor. Hygin Locas was its first mayor. At that time, the village consisted of 26 homes and 6 streets. The V ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
