== History == Around 1840, the first settlers arrived from Lachenaie, Saint-Sulpice, and Saint-Jacques-de-l'Achigan. The place was known as Village Beaupré until 1870, after Joseph-Édouard Beaupré (1817-1880), who built the first sawmill on the site and donated the land for the construction of the chapel. In 1848, the parish of Sainte-Julienne-de-Rawdon was created, named in honour of Juliana Falconieri, while Rawdon refers to its location within the geographic township of Rawdon. In 1853, its post office opened.
