==History==
Before the foundation of Saint-Liboire, the actual town territory was included in the [[Seigneurial system of New France|Seigneurie de Ramezay]] given to [[Claude de Ramezay]] near 1710.

The [[Types of municipalities in Quebec|village municipality]] was founded in 1857 with the purpose to offer more arable lands to the Catholic colonists coming from the [[Saint-Hyacinthe]] region.
