Beauceville is a city in, and the seat of, the Municipalité régionale de comté Beauce-Centre in Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Chaudière-Appalaches region and the population was 6,185 as of the Canada 2021 Census.
Beauceville's new constitution dates from 1998, when it amalgamated with Saint-François-Ouest and Saint-François-de-Beauce. The previous city was also the creation of a merging between Beauceville and Beauceville-Est, distinction made because each shared a bank of the Chaudière River. Beauceville was the first municipality in Beauce to be constituted as a city when it detached from Saint-François-de-Beauce in 1904.
Covering an area of 164.56 km2, Beauceville extends on both banks of the Chaudière River, 85 km south of Quebec City, 55 km from the border of the US state of Maine and 150 km from Sherbrooke.
Before its creation, the territory where Beauceville currently sits was known as Saint-François-de-la-Beauce. The actual city of Beauceville was formed in 1904, when it split from the municipality of Saint-François. In 1930 it lost some of its territory, when the city of Beauceville-Est was created, yet regained it in 1973 when Beauceville-Est merged with Beauceville. In 1998 Beauceville gained significant territories, when it annexed the neighbouring municipalities of Saint-François-de-Beauce (the municipality from which Beauceville had originally split) and Saint-François-Ouest. Throughout its history, Beauceville has suffered from spring floods of the Chaudière River, and many streets of the municipality have been repeatedly inundated, causing great damage.
In recent years, Beauceville has seen economic prosperity. The municipality has more than 25 manufacturing companies and its industrial park is expanding and welcoming many new companies.
