Saint-Fabien-de-Panet (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ fabjɛ̃ də panɛ]) is a parish municipality in Quebec, Canada.
History
[edit | edit source]In 1868, the geographic township of Panet was proclaimed, named after Bernard-Claude Panet, twelfth bishop of Quebec.[1] To encourage colonization of the township, the government's Colonization Society No. 1 begun clearing lots in the 1870s, but did not immediately attract settlers. Settlement began at the end of the 19th century by people coming from Notre-Dame-Auxiliatrice-de-Buckland. By 1895, the first school was opened.[4]
In 1901, the Mission of Saint-Théodore was founded, named in honour of Joseph-Théodore Mercier, then parish priest of Saint-Magloire. In 1904, the chapel was built and the parish was renamed to Saint-Fabien-de-Panet, in honour of Joseph-Fabien Dumais, who was parish priest of Saint-Magloire from 1901 to 1906.[1] An influx of settlers from Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Paul, and Saint-Pierre led to quick growth of the community.[4]
In 1908, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Fabien-de-Panet was established, taking its name from the mission,[1] and with Alphonse Brisson as its first mayor.[4]
In July 1948, the village was partially destroyed by fire. Shortly after, in 1948-1949, Saint-Fabien-de-Panet was connected to the electrical grid. At the same time, nickel was discovered just west of the village, leading to a period of prosperity for Saint-Fabien-de-Panet until the mine closed in the late 1950s.[4]
