Yamachiche

Yamachiche is a district in the Mauricie area of the territory of Quebec in Canada. In 1653, the zone was a piece of a fief conceded to Pierre Boucher de Grosbois, Governor of Trois-Rivieres, and in 1672, it was formally surrendered to Grosbois. The Grosbois or Machiche Seignory was 1.5 associations in length by 2 groups profound along the shores of Lac Saint-Pierre. But since of war with the Iroquois First Nation, it couldn't be colonized until the start of the eighteenth century.

In 1703, the main pilgrims, the three Gélinas siblings, settled in the zone and by 1706, there were 7 families. That year, the name Yamachiche previously showed up in the evaluation. In 1711, the main sanctuary was fabricated, devoted to Sainte Anne by Recollet Simeon Dupont, and the Parish of Sainte-Anne was framed in 1722. After a year, the settlement comprised of around 20 families and 100 persons.

In 1725, the Chemin du Roy French for "Lord's Highway" was fabricated interfacing it with Louiseville and Pointe-du-Lac. In 1764, the West Grosbois Seignory was bought by Conrad Gugy, along these lines turning into the primary French-Canadian Seignory in English ownership. Somewhere in the range of 1765 and 1790, Yamachiche developed rapidly with new pioneers from Acadia Acadians ousted by the English and from the United States, especially Loyalists from Massachusetts.
