==History== Saint-Prime owes its name to its first parish priest, Father Prime Girard. The first house in the area was built in 1864 by Francois Lapierre, at the time, the area was part of Roberval. The original municipality of Saint-Prime split away from Roberval on 1 January 1873. The original territory included the current cities Saint-Félicien, La Doré, Normandin, Albanel and parts of Saint-Édmond-les-Plaines and Dolbeau-Mistassini. That whole section eventually split away from Saint-Prime in 1882 when Saint-Félicien was founded (The other previously municipalities will enventually split from Saint-Félicien). In 1923, the village and the parish were split into two distinct municipalities. The population has remained stable since the 1920's, staying around 2,500 habitants. In 1968, the parish and the village merged to create the current municipality of Saint-Prime.
