Labrecque, Quebec

Labrecque (French pronunciation: [labʁɛk]) is a municipality in Quebec, Canada.

The first settlers to Labrecque arrived in 1917.

In 1920, the Labrecque Township was proclaimed, and in 1925 the municipality was incorporated, both named after Michel-Thomas Labrecque (1849-1932), who was the third bishop of Chicoutimi from 1892 to 1928.

The first industry, a sawmill, came into operation in 1921, and the post office opened in 1923.
