La Broquerie (Template:Langx) is a rural municipality in the province of southern Manitoba, located just southeast of the city of Steinbach.
The municipality includes the local urban district of La Broquerie to the north, and the unincorporated communities of Marchand to the east and Zhoda to the south form the urban centres of the municipality.[1][2] Besides these areas, the municipality mainly consists of agricultural production and rural residential developments in the northern half to hog production facilities and vastly undeveloped areas in the south.
History
The Rural Municipality of La Broquerie was incorporated on May 25, 1881.[1]
The local urban district of La Broquerie was first named Carleton before Member of Parliament A.A.C. Larivière had it changed to honour Joseph de La Broquerie Taché (1759-1830), who played an important role in the life of his nephew Archbishop Alexandre-Antonin Taché of St. Boniface.[1][3]
Taché designed the municipal seal, including the inscription "All from above."[3]
On November 15, 1883, Taché declared La Broquerie as "St. Joachim’s mission," and a new St-Joachim Catholic Parish was built in 1884.[3][4]
Having a large Francophone population, La Broquerie has been celebrating Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day since 1897.[3]
Geography
