Origin of the name
The municipality of Saint-Hippolyte's original name was Abercrombie. The name was pick to honor James Abercrombie, british commander-in-chief of forces in North America during the French and Indian War, best known for the disastrous British losses in the 1758 Battle of Carillon. The municipality changed its name to the current Saint-Hippolyte in 1951. The name was chosen to honor Hippolyte Moreau, titular canon of the Cathedral of Montreal (1854-1880) and vicar general (1873-1880). It was his responsibility to choose the location of the church in the name of Monsignor Ignace Bourget in 1864. The name is a reference to Hippolytus of Rome, one of the most important second-third century Christian theologians.
