Hébertville (French pronunciation: [ebɛʁvil]) is a municipality in Quebec, Canada.

History

Hébertville in 1906

Hébertville was founded in 1849 and is named for the priest Nicolas-Tolentin Hébert (1810-1888), the son of Jean-Baptiste Hébert, a Patriot representative jailed in Montreal in 1837. It was the first establishment to be colonised in the Lac Saint-Jean area. This municipality offered a future development near the Aulnaies Falls, situated at the heart of the village.

At this location, saw and flour mills were constructed to provide work and food for the first inhabitants.
