The only population centres within the township are Saint-Jogues ( 48°10′30″N65°15′03″W / 48.17500°N 65.25083°W / 48.17500; -65.25083 ) [4] and Saint-Jogues-Sud ( 48°08′54″N65°13′53″W / 48.14833°N 65.23139°W / 48.14833; -65.23139 ). [5]

History

The township was surveyed circa 1786, and named in honour of British Colonel Henry Hope (c. 1746 – 1789), lieutenant-governor of Quebec from 1785 to 1789. At that time, the township also included the territory of Hope Town, Paspébiac, and Saint-Godefroi. [1]

In 1913, Saint-Godefroi split off, and in 1936, Hope Town became a separate incorporated municipality.

The community of Saint-Jogues was formed in 1930 when 52 settlers were encouraged to colonize Gaspésie's interior during the Great Depression. By 1937, there were 300 residents in this village. [6]
