History

Settlement of the territory began around 1869, with people from Sainte-Marie-de-la-Nouvelle-Beauce settling in the 9th range of Tring. They formed a group under the name of Petit-Sainte-Marie and requested the creation of a church in 1890. It wasn't until 1922 that a parish service was established, while most of the first pioneers of Sainte-Clotilde-de-Beauce had been living in the territory of the future municipality since 1920. The parish service gave way to an actual municipality in 1938 when sectors of Saint-Éphrem-de-Tring, Saint-Victor-de-Tring, Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus and Sacré-Coeur-de-Marie were splitted and merged to create Sainte-Clothilde-de-Beauce. In the middle of the 20th century, the name simply became Sainte-Clothilde while the village was informally known as Corriveau until the 1950s. In 1984, the name of Sainte-Clothilde was replaced to the current Sainte-Clotilde-de-Beauce and the status was changed from a parish municipality to a regular municipality.
