Fossambault-sur-le-Lac

Fossambault-sur-le-Lac (, ) is a city in the south part of Quebec, Canada, in La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, just north of Quebec City. It had a population of 2,327 as of the 2021 Canadian census. It is located on the southeastern part of Saint-Joseph Lake.

==History== The settlement of Lake Saint-Joseph began at the beginning of the twentieth century. Only an occupation of the territory by a few Irish farmers provides the traces of human occupation in the nineteenth century. The resort phenomenon appeared around 1896, when notary Cyprien Labrecque built a residence. Later, notables occupied the premises: notaries, clerks, doctors, and merchants, most of whom were citizens of Quebec.
