About Yamachiche
In 1653, the area was part of a fief granted to Pierre Boucher de Grosbois, Governor ofTrois-Rivières, but because of war with the Iroquois First Nation, it could not be colonized until the beginning of the 18th century. In 1703, the first colonists, the three Gélinas brothers, settled in the area and by 1706, there were 7 families. In 1711, the first chapel was built, dedicated to Sainte Anne by Récollet Siméon Dupont, and the Parish of Sainte-Anne was formed in 1722. A year later, the settlement consisted of about 20 families and 100 persons. In 1725, theChemin du Roy(French for "King's Highway") was built connecting it with Louiseville and Pointe-du-Lac. In 1764, the West Grosbois Seignory was purchased by Conrad Gugy, thereby becoming the first French-Canadian Seignory in English poss
