More than 60 prehistoric archaeological sites bear witness to the presence in the area of Aboriginal People who came here to look for Chert, a flint like stone with exceptional properties. The oldest site at Saint-Michel-du-Squatec dates back more than 9, 000 years. The first seigneury, following the French model, was that of the Seigneury of Madawaska, established in 1683. It was granted to the merchant Charles-Aubert de la Chesnaye who was a fur trader in the region in the 17th century. The fourth holder of the seigneury was James Murray, the Governor General of Canada, in 1763. He was succeeded in turn by Henry Caldwell, Alexander Fraser and Joseph Bouchette, Surveyor General of Canada.
