About La Bostonnais
Forestry has been the main engine of economic activity since the middle of the 19th century. The toponym "La Bostonnais" evokes the name of Jean-Baptiste Bostonnais, an American from Boston who came to join the Abenakis. His patronymic becomes the toponymic designation of this municipality of Haute-Mauricie. On the sidelines of the considerable forest exploitation effort in Haute-Mauricie since the middle of the 19th century, new parishes are opening up to colonization. The canton of Bourgeoys opens to colonization in 1871; nevertheless, the mission of Saint-Jean Bosco de La Bostonnais was only made official in 1946. It would become a parish in 1948. The civil establishment of La Bostonnais was formalized in 1987. It merged with La Tuque in 2003 as part of the major municipal restructuring
