Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t kʁistin dovɛʁɲ]), formerly Sainte-Catherine (Parish Municipality), is located along the banks of the Sainte-Anne River, in the Capitale-Nationale region, Portneuf Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada.[2]

The municipality has 601 inhabitants (2019), on a territory of just over 145 km2, divided between logging and agricultural land development.[5] Demonym: Auvergnat, ate (French).

History

In 1893, the local mission was founded, named after Sister Sainte-Christine, born Clara Deschènes, who held a senior position at the Daughters of Charity in Quebec at that time.[2] In 1895, it became a parish by separating from Saint-Raymond, Saint-Basile, and Notre-Dame-de-Portneuf. In 1896, it was incorporated as the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Christine, and its post office opened.[2][6]

The town was also frequently called Sainte-Christine-de-l'Auvergne, Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, or Sainte-Christine-de-Portneuf in order to distinguish it from a namesake municipality in the Montérégie region. In 1991, the place officially changed its name to Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne.[2]
