An early map drawn by surveyor, William Sax, in 1819, shows the names of some of the original settlers.
Starting at the Neilson property, (where once there was a ferry across the Jacques Cartier river) and traveling north towards Riviere aux Pins you find the following families. Dates listed are the dates when the grant was documented, they may have been on the land earlier.
