Etymology


The name "Métis" is said to come from a Mi'kmaq word meaning "meeting place"; "sur-mer" refers to its location on the Saint Lawrence River.


History

From 1818, John MacNider, the Scottish Seigneur of Métis started settling the area with Scottish immigrants.

The city has a borough named MacNider, named after John MacNider family, whose territory corresponds to the former (pre-merger) village municipality of Métis-sur-Mer.(Metis Beach)[4][5]

The town was a popular summer vacation spot for wealthy anglophone Montrealers. At the end of the 19th century, they spent their time in Métis-sur-Mer to flee waves of cholera. At the beginning of the 20th century, they did so again to escape outbreaks of the Spanish flu.[6]

On July 4, 2002, the village of Métis-sur-Mer and the municipality of Les Boules merged to form the city of Métis-sur-Mer.[7]
