Contents

The village is located in a fairly flat valley surrounded by a mountainous area of the Laurentian Hills that are dominated by mixed forest. [1]

History

The settlement initially had the name Chute-Leon at the beginning of the 20th century, in memory of Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903), and was called Victoria Falls by 1903, in honour of Queen Victoria (1819-1901). [1]

In 1921, a mission was founded here with Philip the Apostle as its patron saint. In 1934, the place was renamed to Chute-Saint-Philippe, taking its name from a drop on the Kiamika River and the patron saint. In 1966, the mission received its status as a parish. [1]
