History

Loreauville was initially called “Fausse Pointe”, then “Dugasville” after the Dugas family, who opened a trading post at the site. The name was changed to “Picouville” when a Picou family member donated land to build a chapel.

On April 15, 1871, the name was changed from Picouville to Loreauville for Ozaire Loreau, who had contributed the property for the old Catholic church and cemetery, and had also aided in the agricultural, industrial and political growth of the village.
