History
In 1736, Lord Jean d'Ailleboust d'Argenteuil receives a lordship that will bear his name. It won't be until 1864 that the municipality of Sainte-Béatrix be officially created by splitting away from the municipality of Sainte-Mélanie. Louise-Amélie Panet and her husband William Bent Berczy are considered to be the founders of Sainte-Béatrix.
