Saint-Élie-de-Caxton (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t‿eli də kakstən]) is a municipality in the Mauricie region of the province of Quebec in Canada.

[4] Located in the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains, its territory is dotted with lakes.

Storyteller and musician Fred Pellerin was born in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, which is the setting of many of his published stories.

[5] The Gale and Duberger Map of 1795 already identified the area as Caxton Township, named after an English village situated about 15 kilometers from Cambridge.

[6] Colonization of Caxton Township was delayed because the land sold in 1833 was not yet allocated, with the owners apparently missing.
