Château-Richer (French pronunciation: [ʃato ʁiʃe]) is a small town situated in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada. Located on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River east of Quebec City. It is the seat for the Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality.
The first rural parish in New France wasRead more
established in 1678, by the members of La Compagnie-des-Cents-Associés. Château-Richer was the first home to Quebec's oldest families (les Greniers, Giroux, Vachons, Bélangers, Juchereaux, Cloutiers) with descendants remaining to this day. In fact, a fairly large segment of the town's population can be traced back to those enterprising pioneers tasked with establishing a fur-trading post while increasing the population.
The town stretches for several miles alongside Route 138. This road, originally known as Le Chemin du Roy (The King’s Road) or Le Chemin-Royal (The Royal Road), would later be renamed l’Avenue Royale . It is among the first roads to be built in North America.
In addition to the main namesake population centre, the municipality also includes the hamlets of Le Moyne (46°57′20″N 71°2′42″W), Rivière-Cazeau (46°56′56″N 71°3′0″W), Sault-à-la-Puce (46°58′39″N 71°0′36″W), Saint-Achillée (47°3′4″N 71°1′42″W), and Saint-Ignace (47°2′7″N 71°3′3″W).
