Laforce (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada, in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality.
History
The place saw its first settlers in 1937, and was originally called Devlin, after the geographic township of Devlin, in turn named in honour of Charles Ramsay Devlin. In 1938, the Parish of Saint-Charles-Borromée-de-Devlin was founded. In June of that same year, the place received the name Laforce, named after Ernest Laforce (1879–1977), deputy minister of Colonization of Quebec at that time. In 1940, the Laforce Post Office opened.[1]
On January 1, 1979, the Municipality of Laforce was created out of previously unincorporated area.[2]
