Saint-Octave-de-Métis

Saint-Octave-de-Métis is a parish municipality in Quebec, Canada.

==History== The first settlers began arriving in this area, called "Métis" around 1840. In 1855, the municipality of Métis was officially founded. In 1859, a sector of Métis split and became the new municipality of Mac Nider. One year later, in 1860, Métis changed its name to Saint-Octave-de-Métis. The municipality lost significative portions of its territory twice before the end of the 19th century. First in 1878 for the creation of Saint-Moïse and again in 1897 for the creation of Petit-Métis. Finally in 1908, Saint-Octave-de-Métis was divided in two distinct municipalities: Saint-Octave-de-Métis and Saint-Octave-de-Métis-Sud.
