About Sainte-Adèle

History [ edit ] The area was first settled in 1832 by a group of Irish immigrants and Scottish Presbyterians, who named the village Saint-André. In 1838, it was renamed Sainte-Adèle when the Parish of Sainte-Adèle de Montmagny was formed.[3] The name refers to Adelaides or Adelaide of Italy (831–896), wife of Louis II, Holy Roman Emperor. It is also spelled "Sainte Adele" in French.[4] The municipality became officially bilingual on August 26, 2009 following a change in provincial law[5]. Its name changed from Ville de Sainte-Adèle to Ville de Sainte Adele.[6][7] However most locals still refer to it as simply "Saint'e". A new public library opened its doors on November 4th 2016 at 11am with an official ribbon cutting ceremony held at 10:30am that morning.
