History

[edit]

The township was surveyed circa 1786, and named in honour of British Colonel Henry Hope (c. 1746 – 1789), lieutenant-governor of Quebec from 1785 to 1789. At that time, the township also included the territory of Hope Town, Paspébiac, and Saint-Godefroi.[1]

In 1913, Saint-Godefroi split off, and in 1936, Hope Town became a separate incorporated municipality.

The community of Saint-Jogues was formed in 1930 when 52 settlers were encouraged to colonize Gaspésie's interior during the Great Depression. By 1937, there were 300 residents in this village.[6]
