History
On June 2, 1898, the Township Municipality of Saint-Paul de Mille-Vaches was formed when it split off from the Municipality of Escoumains. It changed statutes on July 4, 1931, to become the Municipality of Saint-Paul-du-Nord.{{cite web |title=Répertoire des entités géopolitiques: Saint-Paul-du-Nord (municipalité) 2.6.1898 - 28.5.1997 |url=https://www.mairesduquebec.com/mairesduquebec/munic.php?id=2544 |website=www.mairesduquebec.com |publisher=Institut généalogique Drouin |access-date=3 July 2024}}

The new name Longue-Rive was chosen out of a list of 10 options through a referendum on May 26, 1998, and approved by the government on September 22, 1998. Longue-Rive (French for "long shore") refers to the municipality's location along the north shore of the maritime estuary of the St. Lawrence River.{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/ToposWeb/fiche.aspx?no_seq=346609 |title=Longue-Rive (Municipalité) |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |accessdate=2010-08-09 |language=French}}
