Saint-Michel is a municipality in the Jardins de Napierville Regional County Municipality in Quebec, Canada, situated in the Montérégie administrative region. The population as of the 2021 Canadian census was 3,521.
History
[edit]The place was originally known as La Pigeonnière or Lapigeonnière, named after the Pigeon family. In 1853, the parish of Saint-Michel or Saint-Archange was formed, named in honour of Michael the Archangel. In 1854, its post office opened under the name Lapigeonnière. The Parish Municipality of Saint-Michel was created on July 1, 1855, when the county of Huntingdon was disbanded into multiple municipalities. The place was also known as Saint-Michel-de-Napierville, in order to avoid confusion with Saint-Michel in the Bellechasse region.[1][4]
On December 10, 2011, the parish municipality changed statutes and became a regular municipality.[1]
