The place near where the church for this parish was built in 1895 was also known as l'Arbre Sec, in reference to a withered tree in the western end of the Île d'Orléans seigneurie.

[4] In 1698, at the request of François Berthelot, Advisor to the King and Count of Saint-Laurent, the parish was renamed Saint-Laurent, in order to avoid confusion caused by the frequent practice at the time of compound-naming as Saint-Pierre & Saint-Paul.

[1] In the 19th century, Saint-Laurent gained a maritime character due to the many fishermen and boatsmen.

[1] Saint-Laurent-de-l'Île-d'Orléans is part of the Historic District of Île d'Orléans, and has many classified or recognized monuments.

This park preserves the maritime heritage, featuring exhibits and guided tours at the former Saint-Laurent Ltd.
