History

In 1661, the first parish on Orleans Island was formed, 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. It is unclear when the article disappeared.[1] Sainte-Famille was renamed as Sainte-Famille-de-l'Île-d'Orléans on September 12, 2017.[4]
