Saint-François-d'Assise is a municipality in Quebec, Canada.
In addition to Saint-François-d'Assise itself, the municipality also includes the communities of L'Immaculée-Conception, Saint-Jean-de-Matapédia, and Saint-Joseph-de-Matapédia.
History
In 1887, the mission of Saint-Joseph was established, that was in the jurisdiction of the Parish of Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia. It was renamed to Saint-François-d'Assise or Saint-François-de-Matapédia in 1889 by Joseph-Elzéar Pelletier, priest of Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia, after François Cinq-Mars (1847-1902), who served as priest at the mission from 1890 to 1892, while also honouring Francis of Assisi.[1]
In 1900, its post office opened, and in 1924, the parish was formed. In 1926, the Parish Municipality of Saint-François-d'Assise was created when it split off from the Parish Municipality of Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia.[1] In 1968, it lost part of its territory when the Municipality of L'Ascension-de-Patapédia was created.[4]
In 2003, the parish municipality changed statutes to become a regular municipality.[1]
