Municipality in Quebec, Canada
Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues , often shortened to Guigues , is a municipality in northwestern Quebec , Canada , in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality .
In addition to the main namesake population centre, the municipality also includes the hamlet of Pointe-Piché, located on the shores of Lake Timiskaming .[4]
History
[ edit ]
The area was originally inhabited by Algonquin people , who had discovered a lead mine as early as the 17th century. The mine was not exploited however until circa 1850, when it was rediscovered and noted for its high silver content. The Wright mine, operating between 1885 and 1903, and from 1915 to 1952, was Canada's first silver mine .[1] [5]
The first settler was Édouard Piché, who arrived in 1863. A year later, he moved to the place that came to be known as Pointe Piché.[5]
In 1881, the geographic township of Guigues was proclaimed, named in honour of Joseph-Bruno Guigues .[6] [1] [5]
In 1912, the Township Municipality of Guigues was divided into the Parish Municipality of Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues and the Municipality of Saint-Eugène-de-Guigues . On May 6, 1995, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues changed statutes to become a regular municipality.[1]
