Chute-Saint-Philippe (French pronunciation: [ʃyt sɛ̃ filip]) is a municipality in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, part of the Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality.

The village is located in a fairly flat valley surrounded by a mountainous area of the Laurentian Hills that are dominated by mixed forest.[1]

History

[edit]

The settlement initially had the name Chute-Leon at the beginning of the 20th century, in memory of Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903), and was called Victoria Falls by 1903, in honour of Queen Victoria (1819-1901).[1]

In 1921, a mission was founded here with Philip the Apostle as its patron saint. In 1934, the local post office was renamed to Chute-Saint-Philippe, taking its name from a drop on the Kiamika River and the patron saint.[1] On December 26, 1940, the Municipality of Chute St-Philippe was formed out of territory ceded from Ferme-Neuve and an adjacent unorganized territory. In 1969, the orthography was adjusted to Chute-Saint-Philippe.[4]

In 1966, the mission received its status as a parish.[1]
