Walking through Montmagny, one feels the living and proud history of a city founded more than 374 years ago. Stately mansions, carefully restored heritage residences, evocative places of interpretation, the city is told to those who look at it.
The current city of Montmagny has its origins in the seigniorial system that prevailed in Quebec until 1854. In 1646, the seigniory of Rivière-du-Sud was granted to Charles-Huault de Montmagny, then governor of New France. Between the founding of the first parish, Saint-Thomas-de-la-Pointe-à-la-Caille, and the industrial and dynamic city that we know today, the history of Montmagny is punctuated with great facts, dramas , successes and famous people.
