History

edit

While logging began in the 1880s, settlement of the area began in 1902, then called Stopping Place and later Pont-Rouge. In 1904, it was incorporated as the United Township Municipality of Laverlochère-et-Baby, after the geographic townships in which it is located, in turn named in honour of Jean-Nicolas Laverlochère and Louis François Georges Baby.[1][4]

In 1912, the Parish of Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel was founded, with Joseph-Armand Fugère as the first parish priest, and in 1914, its post office opened. In 1921, it changed statutes and name to become the Municipality of Fugerville, named after its first priest. In 1969, the spelling was adjusted to Fugèreville.[1][5]
