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]
