History
Settlement began in 1824 with the construction of a sawmill in Hunterstown Township, that was already drawn up by 1795 on the Gale and Duberger map. In 1847, the parish of Saint-Paulin was formed when it split off from Saint-Léon-le-Grand. In 1855, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Paulin was established. In 1860, its post office opened. The village itself separated from the parish municipality in 1924 to form the Village Municipality of Saint-Paulin.[2]
In 1988, the parish and village municipalities, together with the Township Municipality of Hunterstown (formed in 1861), merged to form the current Municipality of Saint-Paulin.[2]
