History
The municipality of the parish of Saint-Anselme was founded in 1845. The municipality of the village of Saint-Anselme was created in 1920. The two municipalities were merged in 1998 to create the current municipality.
The year 1829 marked the start of religious construction. A chapel-presbytery was built according to the plans of architect Thomas Baillairgé and his mentor, Abbé Jérôme Demers, Vicar General. François Audet dit Lapointe, then living in Saint-Charles, where he had just finished enlarging the church, was awarded the contract to build the chapel-presbytery, and then, in 1846, the present church, which was completed in 1850.
Around fifteen cooperative groups have been created since 1940:
- the Société coopérative agricole (1941) ;
- la Boulangerie coopérative (1943) ;
- the Meunerie coopérative (1949) ;
- the Garage coopératif (1955);
- Avicole régionale Etchemin ;
- the Cercle des jeunes éleveurs.
Quebec Central and Canadian National railway lines have been located here since 1875, but were replaced by the Bellechasse cycloroute in 2012.
