Saint-Urbain-Premier (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t‿yʁbɛ̃ pʁəmje]) is a municipality located southwest of Montreal in Beauharnois-Salaberry, in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada.
In 1821, the area was officially surveyed and settlers began arriving in larger numbers.
[5] In 1848, the parish of St. Urbain Premier was formed, named after Pope Urban I, who reigned from 222 to 230AD.
In 1853, its post office opened, and two years later, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Urbain-Premier was founded.
In 1876, the post office was renamed to Saint-Urbain-de-Châteauguay, in order to distinguish it from Saint-Urbain in the Charlevoix region.
