Rochebaucourt is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, located in the Abitibi Regional County Municipality.

History

Rochebaucourt in September 1942

In 1935 as part of the Vautrin Settlement Plan, the place was colonized by pioneers from Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Hyacinthe, and Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. It was first known as Colonie-33 but this was quickly replaced by Rochebaucourt, the name of the geographic township in which it is located. La Rochebaucourt was a cavalry captain of the Languedoc Regiment in General Montcalm's army. In 1940, the Parish of Saint-Antoine-de-Rochebaucourt was established.[3]

Not until 1983 was the place incorporated as a municipality.[3]
