Saint-Ubalde is a rural municipality in Portneuf County in the Canadian province of Quebec.
Geographically its territory is marked by an agricultural and populated area in the south-west, and an undeveloped hilly area in the north-east where there are numerous lakes such as Blanc, Sainte-Anne, Ricard, and Thom. Therefore its economy is centred on potato cultivation and outdoor recreation (canoeing, water skiing, fishing).[1]
History
Saint-Ubald (originally without an "e") was founded by people from Neuville in 1860, and the Saint-Ubald Mission was established that same year. It was named after Ubald Gingras (1824-1874), first sacristan of the place but originally from Pointe-aux-Trembles (Portneuf), and who was brother-in-law of Charles-François Baillargeon, archbishop of Quebec. The mission became a parish in 1866 by separating from Saint-Casimir. In 1873, the civil parish was formed and incorporated as a parish municipality. A year later, its post office opened.[1]
In 1920, the village centre separated from the parish municipality to form the Village Municipality of Saint-Ubalde. But in 1973, the parish and village municipalities merged again to form the new Municipality of Saint-Ubalde.[1]
