Sainte-Famille-de-l'Île-d'Orléans (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ famij lil dɔʁleɑ̃], lit.'Saint-Famille of the Orléans Island'; Sainte-Famille prior to September 12, 2017) is a municipality in the L'Île-d'Orléans Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada, part of the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale. It is situated along the western shores of Island of Orléans.

Founded in 1661, Sainte-Famille-de-l'Île-d'Orléans is the oldest settlement on l'île d'Orléans and has one of the most important concentrations of houses of the old French regime.

History

[edit]

In 1661, l'Île d'Orléans' first parish was formed and it was known until 1679 as Paroisse de l'Île. The parish municipality was first established in 1845 as La Sainte-Famille, abolished in 1847, and reestablished in 1855. The article 'La' disappeared in the 19th century.[1][4] A post office named Sainte-Famille-d'Orléans was opened in 1852.[5]

On September 12, 2017, the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Famille changed statutes and name to the Municipality of Sainte-Famille-de-l'Île-d'Orléans.[6]
