About Louiseville
In the fall of 1665, Charles Du Jay, Vicomte de Manereuil, settled in the company of soldiers and officers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment at the mouth of the large Rivière du Loup, on the north shore of Lac Saint-Rock.

The village grew slowly, thanks to the construction of Chemin du Roy on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.

The Ferron family name includes several personalities from Louiseville: Jacques
