Origin of name

The parish may take its name from the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical parish of Saint-Louis-des-Français.

History

Saint-Louis was erected as Palmerston Parish in 1855 from Carleton Parish.[4]

In 1857 the boundary with Carleton was altered to run along grant lines.[5]

In 1866 the parish was renamed Saint-Louis.[6]

In 1909 part of Saint-Louis was included in the new parish of Saint-Charles.[7]
