Municipality in Quebec, Canada
L'Anse-Saint-Jean (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃s sɛ̃ ʒɑ̃] French for "The Cove of Saint John" is a municipality in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec , Canada. Its population was 1208 in the Canada 2011 Census .
L'Anse-Saint-Jean was founded in 1838 by the Société des Vingt-et-un, a group of lumber prospectors and investors from Charlevoix which was responsible for opening up the Saguenay region to colonization.
The village achieved some fame in 1997 when its citizens voted in a referendum to declare the village a "municipal monarchy" as the Kingdom of L'Anse Saint Jean .
[ edit ]
The village's citizens held a referendum on January 21, 1997, to turn the village into Le Royaume de L'Anse-Saint-Jean (the kingdom of L'Anse Saint Jean), the continent's first "municipal monarchy."[4] Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day , in the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, and announced plans to build a "vegetable oratory," Saint-Jean-du-Millénaire (Saint John of the Millennium).[5]
This micronational project was cheerfully conceded to be a way of boosting tourism in the region, which had been hit by the 1996 Saguenay Flood .[6]
Denis I abdicated on 14 January 2000, bringing the purported kingdom to an end.[5] [6]
