The most interesting local attraction is the ''Trou de Fée'' (lit. "Fairy Hole"), a cave on the west bank of the Ouareau River. History The area began to be populated at the end of the 18th century.

The real impetus for the town's development came in 1905 when Edwin Crabtree bought land in what would become the centre of the city to build a paper mill.

A year later, the post office opened under the name "Crabtree Mills". In 1912, the mill was destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt within a year. Gradually a small vi ...
