History

La Reine in 1972

The first pioneers were from Berthier County and arrived in 1913, around the time when the National Transcontinental Railway was completed. The train station was first designed as Okiko, derived from the Algonquin name for the La Reine River Okikadosag Sibi. The following year the Mission of Saint-Philippe-de-La Reine was founded. In 1917, the place was incorporated as the United Township Municipality of La Reine-et-Desmeloizes-Partie-Ouest. In 1922, the village itself separated from the united township and formed the Village Municipality of La Reine. [1]

In 1949, the united township municipality changed its name and status to the Municipality of La Reine. In 1981, this municipality and the village municipality were rejoined. [1]
