History


The origin of the Municipality of Scott dates back to 1897 with the foundation of the parish municipality of Saint-Maxime. This municipality was formed from sections of the neighbouring municipalities of Saint-Bernard, Saint-Isidore-de-Lauzon and Sainte-Marie-de-la-Nouvelle-Beauce. In 1933, Saint-Maxime was splitted in two with the foundation of the municipality of Taschereau-Fortier around the more rural sections of the municipality while Saint-Maxime only kept the more urbanized village. In 1978, Saint-Maxime took the name of Scott and in 1995, Scott and Taschereau-Fortier reunited to form the current municipality of Scott.


Origin of the name


Scott can be known under several names, due to a history of name changes, place names, territory breakups, and amalgamations.
