History

The municipality was founded in 1935 under the name of canton de Sales. In 1947 the parish of Notre-Dame-des-Monts was canonically erected, and the municipality took its name the following year. One can observe from the village, a series of mountains resembling a woman lying on her back. The name given to this series of mountains is “La Noyée”.
