Parish municipality in Quebec, Canada
Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.lwi.dy.a.a] ) is a parish municipality in the Témiscouata Regional County Municipality of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec . The population is 1,311.[3] Its economy is mainly agricultural . It is located southeast of Rivière-du-Loup and west of Cabano along the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 185 ), about halfway to Edmundston in New Brunswick .
The Commission de toponymie du Québec asserts that the parish's name refers to nearby Lake Témiscouata , the sense of haha here being an archaic French word for an impasse;[4] see Ha-ha . The Louis may refer to Louis Marquis, one of the first colonists of the region, or Louis-Antoine Proulx, vicar of Rivière-du-Loup , or perhaps the abbot Louis-Nicolas Bernier.[1] Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! is the only town in the world with two exclamation points in its name, and shares the distinction of having an exclamation point in its name with Westward Ho! , a village in Devon , in south-west England .[4]
History
[ edit ]
The parish began in 1860 as the site of a Catholic mission; it was named in 1874.[5]
In September 2017, the municipality established a Guinness World Record for the "Most exclamation marks in a town name".[6]
Demographics
[ edit ]
