Saint-Claude () is a municipality in Quebec.
History The town was founded as a Catholic mission within the municipality of Windsor. In 1878, several families settled there. Several shops, a school and a post office were built. In 1912, the municipality was officially created when it split away from Windsor. Originally, the municipality was called Nord-du-Canton-de-Windsor. In 1922, the name of the municipality was changed to Saint-Claude. The core of the municipality was initially located in the northern part of Saint-Claude, but a fire destroyed the buildings and forced the inhabitants to move to the current part of the town.https://www.municipalite.st-claude.ca/
Lake Boissonneault was once used to supply the Windsor paper mill, but is now a residential area of the town.
