History

edit

It was constituted in 1979 from the amalgamation of the parish of Saint-Louis-de-Lotbinière and the village of Lotbinière. The area was initially settled by French colonizers at the end of the 17th century. It is named after René-Louis Chartier de Lotbinière, who was granted the seigneury of Lotbinière in 1672.
