The current city of Carignan was created on July 1, 1855 on a territory known as Chambly. The original name of Carignan was Saint-Joseph-de-Chambly and it kept this name for more than a century. On June 6, 1871, a large part of Saint-Joseph-de-Chambly broke apart (as well as an important section of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville) to form the new town of Saint-Basile-le-Grand. Finally, on December 31, 1965, the name Saint-Joseph-de-Chambly was changed to become the new city of Carignan.
