Saint-Victor is a municipality in the Robert-Cliche Regional County Municipality, part of the Chaudière-Appalaches administrative region in Quebec, Canada. Saint-Victor's population is 2,509. == History == The area was first settled as Tring township municipality, established in 1804. Colonization peaked between 1834 and 1838. Settlers came from the neighboring areas of Saint-François (Beauceville), Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, Lauzon, and Bellechasse. The Tring township municipality was created in 1845, dissolved in 1847, and reestablished in 1855. In 1864 it split into the Saint-Victor-de-Tring and Saint-Éphrem-de-Tring municipalities. Saint-Victor-de-Tring was named after a Catholic parish, which was established in 1848 and became canonical in 1852. The parish included parts of Saint-François-de-Beauce parish and of Tring and Broughton townships. It was named after Pope Saint Victor I because the first chapel's construction started on July 28, Saint Victor's feast day.〔(Fiche descriptive ). Toponymie.gouv.qc.ca (1997-03-25). Retrieved on 2011-04-30.〕 On March 1, 1922, Saint-Victor-de-Tring split into two municipalities, the village and the parish. Originally called Saint-Victor-de-Tring, the village municipality was renamed Saint-Victor in 1955. On December 31, 1996, the municipalities of the village and the parish merged again to form the current municipality of Saint-Victor. Fires destroyed much of the village in 1897, 1916, 1931, 1941, 1948 and 1958.〔Trajectoire 150, ''Saint-Victor 1852–2002: 150 ans de fierté'', 2002, Saint-Victor, QC, Canada, p. 63-66〕 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「Saint-Victor, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
