Sainte-Anne River (Les Chenaux) upstream, from Ponts des Cascades

In 1893, the local mission was founded, named after Sister Sainte-Christine, born Clara Deschènes, who held a senior position at the Daughters of Charity in Quebec at that time. [2]

In 1895, it became a parish by separating from Saint-Raymond, Saint-Basile, and Notre-Dame-de-Portneuf, it was incorporated as the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Christine. In 1896 its post office opened. [7]

The town was also frequently called Sainte-Christine-de-l'Auvergne, Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, or Sainte-Christine-de-Portneuf in order to distinguish it from a namesake municipality in the Montérégie region. In 1991, the place officially changed its name to Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne. [2]
