HĂ©bertville is a municipality in Quebec, Canada.

History

HĂ©bertville in 1906

HĂ©bertville was founded in 1849. It was the first establishment to be colonised in the Lac Saint-Jean area. This municipality offered a future development near the Aulnaies Falls, situated at the heart of the village.

At this location, saw and flour mills were constructed to provide work and food for the first inhabitants.
