Geography


Saint-Pierre-de-l'Île-d'Orléans is located on the west side of Orléans Island, downstream from Quebec City, in the estuary of the St. Lawrence River.

Since the northern slope of the island is conducive to the cultivation of grapes, apples and berries, several agri-food companies are located there, including vineyards, orchards and cider factories, a blackcurrant liqueur factory, pick-your-own small fruit and more.[4]


History


Église St-Pierre
Église St-Pierre

The first European settlers came to the area around 1660. They constructed the first chapel in 1662 and by 1679 the Parish of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul was formed which at that time also included the territory of Sainte-Pétronille. Between 1716 and 1718, one of the oldest churches in Quebec was built (since 1954 classified as a historic monument and occasionally used as a concert hall). In 1722, the civil parish was established. For 54 years from 1734 to 1788, the first bishop of Quebec born in Canada, Louis-Philippe Mariauchau d'Esgly (1710-1788), served there as the resident priest.[1]

In 1845, the Parish Municipality was formed under the name of Saint-Pierre-Isle-d'Orléans, probably in honour of Apostle Peter. It was abolished two years later in 1847 when it became part of the County Municipality, but restored again in 1855 as Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul.[1] In 1874, it lost a portion of its territory when Sainte-Pétronille separated and became a municipality.[5] Over time, only the "Saint-Pierre" part of the name was retained.

In 1935, the Île d'Orléans Bridge was built, leading to a steady increase of residential development and making Saint-Pierre now the most populated municipality on the island. In 1997, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Pierre was renamed to Saint-Pierre-de-l'Île-d'Orléans to better distinguish the town from other namesake municipalities.[1]
