Sainte-Anne-du-Lac is the northernmost community in the Laurentides region, about 45 km (28 mi) from Mont-Laurier. The village itself is located at the northern terminus of Quebec Route 309, on the south shore of Lake Tapani.
Settlement began around 1870. In 1916, the Parish of Sainte-Anne-du-Lac was formed, and the following year, the first school was built. Also in 1917, the Township of Décarie was established, and incorporated as a township municipality in 1920. It was named in honour of Jérémie-Louis Décarie.[1] The township municipality used to extend to the Lièvre River, but the south-eastern portion was ceded in 1928 to the then newly created Municipality of Mont-Saint-Michel.[4]
In 1950, the village itself separated from the township to form the Village Municipality of Sainte-Anne-du-Lac.[1]
On December 30, 1976, the township and village municipalities merged to form the current Municipality of Sainte-Anne-du-Lac.[1]
