History
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The geographic townships of Aldfield, Masham, and Wakefield were already plotted on the Gale and Duberger Map of 1795, all named after places in Yorkshire, England. Around 1825, logging began in the area, while European settlement began around 1847 with the arrival of large number of people of York County in England.[1]
La Pêche was formed in 1975 through the merger of the township municipalities of Wakefield and Aldfield, the village of Wakefield, and the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Masham. It was named after La Pêche Lake and La Pêche River.[1]
