Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t aɡat də lɔtbinjɛʁ]) is a municipality in the Lotbinière Regional County Municipality in Chaudière-Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It had a population of 1,049 as of 2021.

It is named after Agatha of Sicily, who died as a martyr in 251.

History

Sainte-Agathe Church

The initial development of Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière is linked to the construction of the chemins Craig and Gosford Roads in the mid-19th century.

The first road constructed within the lands was Craig Road (now Quebec Route 269), which was naed after James Henry Craig, who was the governor. The construction of the road started in August 1810, and in 1811, people could make the Quebec-Boston trip in winter only since in the summer the road was too bumpy.

It is from that road that the first road leading to the territory that would form the Sainte-Agathe was built. The road was named either Harvey Hill or Chemin des Mines for a long time, because it started from the Harvey Hill mine, located south of Craig Road. This road passed through Craig to get to Ste-Agathe. Although the new constitution dates from 1743, following the amalgamation of the village and parish of Sainte-Agathe, the territory was opened to settlers in 1830.

This road was opened to prospectors to allow them to find deposits of copper or other metals. In those years, many prospections in the surrounding areas had the aim to find important deposits. It was all abandoned and the Harvey Hill mine closed permanently in 1899.

After the construction of this road, settlers settled in the area and practiced agriculture.

It was mostly Irish people who settled along the road.

Sometime later, another road opened, Gosford Road, which was made to link the Townships of Nelson, Inverness, Halifax, Wolfton, Ham, Weedon, Westbury and Ascot to Quebec City.

In those moments, the territory that would come to form the parishes of Sainte-Agathe already had 63 families for 522 total individuals, of which 219 spoke French, and 303 spoke English. There were 1,763 acres under cultivation.

It is only some time later that there would be a road to Methot's Mill (Dosquet). It was the only location where people could receive merchandise and travel by train. There were pathways in the forest that made it possible to travel by foot or by horse but not by car. It was in 1862 that construction began. The total cost was 41 pounds and 16 shillings, which were obtained from the government through MP Mr. H. Joly.

The parishes of Sainte-Agathe were merged in 1999.
