Laverlochère

Laverlochère is a former municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada, in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality. It is one of the two sectors in the municipality of Laverlochère-Angliers.

History
In 1895, the geographic township of Laverlochère was created and began to see its first settlers. At the beginning of the 20th century, the parish of St-Isidore-de-Laverlochère was founded, named after the patron saint of farmers Isidore the Laborer.

The Parish Municipality of Saint-Isidore was formed in 1912, when it separated from Township Municipality of Guigues and the United Township Municipality of Laverlochère-et-Baby.

In June 1977, it was renamed to the Parish Municipality of Laverlochère in honor of Jean-Nicolas Laverlochère, who was a missionary in the Témiscamingue region for more than 40 years. On September 21, 2002, Laverlochère changed statutes and became a regular municipality.

It amalgamated with the Village of Angliers on January 1, 2018, to form the Municipality of Laverlochère-Angliers.
