Théodore Baribeau

Théodore Baribeau (March 1, 1870 – December 31, 1937)[1] was a Quebec politician. He served as the first mayor of Gatineau, Quebec from 1933 to 1937.[2]

The son of Louis Baribeau and Ezoire Dufresne,[1] he was born in Sainte-Geneviève, Quebec and operated a general store at Lac-Sainte-Marie for many years.[3] In 1906, he married Lucia Lacroix.[1] On his retirement in 1929, he moved to what was then known as Gatineau Mills, a company town for Canadian International Paper. Baribeau retired from municipal politics due to poor health. He died at home in Gatineau at the age of 67.[3]

His son Eloi later also served as Gatineau mayor.[4]
