Saint-Siméon, Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine

In 1913, with the means of transport of the time making it difficult to reach the church in Saint-Bonaventure-de-Hamilton, a community of citizens living to the west of the parish asked the religious authorities of the diocese for permission to found a new parish. On 21 November 1913, a request was made and taken into consideration.

Bishop André-Albert Blais approved the move and on March 1, 1914, the first council of churchwardens of the parish of Saint-Siméon was formed. The Municipality of Saint-Siméon was officially created in November 1914.

On August 6, 1924, the eastern part of the parish of Saint-Charles-de-Caplan, extending from the Ruisseau-Leblanc bridge to Route Roussel, was transferred to Saint-Siméon.

Saint-Siméon has seen its population grow as it has developed its territory and set up various services, making it an attractive place to live. With nearly 1,200 residents, many of the area's families are of Acadian origin.
