Louis Molleur (July 7, 1828 – August 17, 1904) was an educator, businessman and political figure in Quebec. He represented Iberville in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1867 to 1881 as a Liberal.
Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada.
Iberville is a provincial electoral district in the Montérégie region of the province of Quebec, Canada, and is located south of Montreal. It includes part of the city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, as well as Mont Saint-Grégoire, Rougemont, Marieville and Saint-Césaire.
The Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the name of the lower house of Quebec's legislature until December 31, 1968, when it was renamed the National Assembly of Quebec. At the same time, the upper house of the legislature, the Legislative Council, was abolished. Both were initially created by the Constitutional Act of 1791.
He was born in L’Acadie, Lower Canada, the son of Louis Molleur and Marie-Angèle Mailloux, and was educated there. Molleur taught school from 1848 to 1853. In 1853, he established himself as a merchant at Saint-Valentin and then later Henryville and finally Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. He was married twice: to his cousin Aurélie Molleur in 1851 and to Elmina Mathieu in 1898. Molleur was a director of the Canada Agricultural Insurance Company and helped found the Permanent Building Society of the District of Iberville and the Banque de Saint-Jean. He died in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu at the age of 76.
L'Acadie is a former town in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada, on the west side of the Richelieu River, across from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. It was about 30 miles (50 km) from Montreal, and about the same distance from the United States border at the head of Lake Champlain. In 2001 L'Acadie merged with neighbouring Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, along with several other neighbouring towns and villages.
The Province of Lower Canada was a British colony on the lower Saint Lawrence River and the shores of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (1791–1841). It covered the southern portion of the current-day Province of Quebec, Canada, and the Labrador region of the modern-day Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Saint-Valentin is a municipality in southern Quebec, Canada located in the administrative area of the Montérégie. The population as of the Canada 2011 Census was 470.
His daughter Auglore married Philippe-Honoré Roy.
