History
[edit | edit source]
The area had its first settlers as early as 1740. In 1766, James Cuthbert (ca. 1719-1798), member of General Murray's staff and lord of the Berthier seignory, donated land to build a church, provided that its patron saint was Saint Cuthbert.[1][4]
In 1845, the Municipality of Saint Cuthbert was originally established, but abolished in 1847. It was reestablished as a parish municipality in 1855. In 1851, its post office opened. In 1912, Saint-Cuthbert ceded part of its territory to create the Parish Municipality of Saint-Viateur.[1]
On January 7, 1998, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Cuthbert and the Parish Municipality of Saint-Viateur merged to form the Municipality of Saint-Cuthbert.[1]
