In 1843, the parish of Saint-Jean-Chrysostome(-de-Russelltown), named in honour of John Chrysostom, was created when it separated from Sainte-Martine. In 1845, the Municipality of Russeltown was formed, but dissolved in 1847. In 1851, its post office opened. The municipality was reestablished on July 1, 1855, and changed name and status in August 1858 to become the Parish Municipality of Saint Jean Chrysostome (orthography was adjusted to include hyphens in 1969).[1][2]

In 1902, the main population centre split off from the parish municipality when it became the Village Municipality of Saint-Chrysostôme (spelled without circumflex since 1969).[3]

On September 29, 1999, the Village Municipality of Saint-Chrysostome and the Parish Municipality Saint-Jean-Chrysostome were merged to form the current municipality.[1]
