Saint-Édouard-de-Fabre is a parish municipality in western Quebec, Canada, in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality.
It is named after Édouard-Charles Fabre.[1]
In addition to the main namesake population centre, the municipality also includes the hamlet of Fabre-Station and the community of Pointe-Martel.
In the 17th century, a fur trading post was established on the eastern shore of Lake Temiskaming, south of Ville-Marie. It was an important French-Canadian post, operating for almost two centuries.[1] [2]
In 1870, the first settler arrived there and cleared the first land for agriculture in the Témiscamingue region. At the end of that century, mining prospectors arrived and discovered copper, cobalt, nickel, and silver deposits, resulting in a brief mining boom (that ended in 1904 when larger deposits were found in Cobalt, Ontario).[2]
In 1899, the parish of Saint-Édouard was founded, named after Édouard-Charles Fabre. In 1904, the Township Municipality of Fabre was established, which was dissolved in 1912, when it was divided into the Parish Municipalities of Saint-Édouard-de-Fabre and Saint-Placide.[1] [2]
