L'Ancienne-Lorette is a city in central Quebec, Canada. It is a suburb of and an enclave within Quebec City. It was merged with Quebec City on January 1, 2002 as part of the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, but after a 2004 referendum it was reconstituted as a separate city on January 1, 2006. Its history dates back to 1674 when a group of Hurons fleeing war with the Iroquois settled here under the protection of the French. They left after a few decades and French settlers took over the land. ==History== Its history starts with the colony started by Jesuit Pierre Chaumonot (1611–1693) in 1674 when he built a chapel for Hurons. Following his third and final trip to the shrine of Loreto in Italy, Chaumonot was cured of a terrible headache and in gratitude, the colony was placed under the patronage of Our Lady of the Annunciation, but commonly called Lorette. In 1697, the Hurons left in search of better land for hunting and fishing. Thereafter the place became known as Vieille-Lorette ("Old Loreto") or Ancienne-Lorette ("Former Loreto"), because they christened the new place where they settled as Nouvelle-Lorette ("New Loreto") or Jeune-Lorette ("Young Loreto"), which roughly corresponds to Loretteville today. A year later in 1698, the Parish of Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation was established.〔 In 1948, the place was incorporated as the Village Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. In 1967, it gained town status and was renamed to the original name L'Ancienne-Lorette in order to distinguish it from a namesake village in the Lac-Saint-Jean region.〔 Until 1971, L'Ancienne-Lorette was the gateway to Quebec's International Airport (and therefore used to be known as L'Ancienne-Lorette Airport), but that year the rural section of the town (including the airport) were annexed by Sainte-Foy. On January 1, 2002, L'Ancienne-Lorette was merged with Quebec City as part of a province-wide municipal reorganization and became part of the Laurentien borough of that city. After a 2004 referendum it became an independent city again on January 1, 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「L'Ancienne-Lorette, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
