History
The Parish of Saint-François-de-Sales was founded in 1679, named after Francis de Sales (1567-1622)and calling to mind Francois Berthelot, Comte de Jouy and de Saint-Laurent, representative of Paris in parliament and Seigneur of Île d'Orléans (1675) at the time the parish was established. It was also known as just Saint-François, and maps of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries would show either one or the other form. In 1845, the Parish Municipality of Saint-François-Isle-d'Orléans was formed, but abolished in 1847 when it became part of the County Municipality. In 1852, the local post office opened. In 1855, the parish municipality was reestablished.
In 2003, the Parish Municipality of Saint-François became the Municipality of Saint-François-de-l'Île-d'Orléans.
