Settlers came from the neighboring areas of Saint-François (Beauceville), Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, Lauzon, and Bellechasse.

The nearby Lac Fortin, the largest lake in Beauce,[5] is 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) long and surrounded by houses and chalets.

Another lake, Lac aux Cygnes, is shared between the municipalities of Saint-Victor and Saint-Benoît-Labre.

[6] Saint-Victor had an economic boom in the 1990s, when the relative weakness of the Canadian dollar helped local businesses increase exports to the United States.

In the mid-2000s, exports declined when the Canadian dollar strengthened and Asian textile quotas ended.

Another convent school in the station neighborhood closed in 1965 and was sold to Victor Woolen Ltd.
