History Settlement began in the early 1850s. The parish was established in 1858 and the following year, the Parish Municipality of Notre Dame du Mont Carmel (orthography adjusted in 1969 to include hyphens) was formed out of territory ceded by the parish municipalities of Saint Maurice and Cap de La Magdeleine.
