CascapĂ©diaâSaint-Jules is a municipality in Quebec, Canada.
The municipality includes the communities of Grande-Cascapédia and Saint-Jules, both located along the Cascapédia River.
On June 2, 1999, the Municipalities of Grande-CascapĂ©dia and Saint-Jules were merged to form the Municipality of CascapĂ©dia. It was renamed to CascapĂ©diaâSaint-Jules on June 26, 2000. [1]
Kigicapigiak had been a Mi'kmaq summer coastal community prior to European settlement. [4] [5] Grande-CascapĂ©dia was formed in the mid 19th century. Named after the adjacent river, originally called CascapĂ©diac, this name is from the Mi'kmaq words kaska (broad) and pegiag (river). In 1860, the local parish was established that 3 years later counted some 1500 inhabitants, and in 1883, its post office opened. In 1929, the place was incorporated as a municipality. [6] Another theory on the etymology is that it was named for the Mi'kmaq word kÄskebeĂąk which means "wide paddle." [7]
Saint-Jules was founded as a mission in 1899, and became a parish only 2 years later. It was named after Pope Julius I, and also called Saint-Jules-de-Maria (1922-1950) or Saint-Jules-de-Cascapédia to distinguish it from Saint-Jules in the Beauce region. Its post office opened in 1922. In 1949, the place was incorporated as a separate municipality out of the Township Municipality of Maria. [8]
