Saint-Cléophas-de-Brandon

Saint-Cléophas-de-Brandon is a municipality in D'Autray Regional County Municipality in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada.

It seems that the name of Saint Cléophas was suggested by Édouard-Charles Fabre (1827-1896), archbishop of Montreal, to honour Cléophas Beausoleil (1845-1904), who was House of Commons member for Berthier from 1887 to 1899.

That same year, its post office opened and a year later the Parish Municipality of Saint-Cléophas was established.

[1] Inserted between Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon to the north and Saint-Norbert to the east, between the edge of the Laurentians and Saint-Félix-de-Valois, along the Bayonne River, Saint-Cléophas-de-Brandon is characterized by a landscape of hills and plains.
