St-Jérôme
Founded in 1834, St-Jérôme is a thriving economic center and cultural hub. The town first gained prominence in 1868, when Curé Antoine Labelle became a pastor of this parish. To keep French Canadians at home rather than heading south to operate the looms of New England's textile mills, Curé Labelle persuaded the government to open the Laurentians to settlement by building the famous P'tit Train du Nord.
