Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada

The area was first settled in 1872 by parish priest Antoine Labelle, leading to formal establishment of the parish in 1879. A railway line from Montreal was completed to the village of St. Jovite in 1892, and extended to Lac Mercier in 1904. The Lac Mercier station would become the village of Mont Tremblant. In 1905 a hydroelectric dam was erected on the banks of the Ruisseau Clair and the Riviere du Diable, providing electricity initially for St. Jovite. Principal economic activities were agriculture and logging.
