History



The area opened for settlement in the early 19th century. At that time, the lands were part of the Seignory of Léry, owned by Napier Christie Burton who had inherited the seignory upon the death of his father, Gabriel Christie, in 1799. The seignory was looked after by Samuel Potts as temporary agent until 1815, and then by Edme Henry, who managed the Christie seignories for twenty years. In 1822, Edme Henry donated land in Napierville for the construction of a Catholic church.
Around 1823, the place was called "Les Côtes", meaning "the hills" and referred to its uneven terrain. In 1832, its post office opened.
In 1855, it was first incorporated as the Village Municipality of Napierville, named after Napier Christie Burton. In 1857, it was dissolved and merged with Saint-Cyprien. On January 1, 1873, the Village Municipality of Napierville was reestablished when it separated from the Parish Municipality of St-Cyprien.
On April 4, 2009, the Village Municipality of Napierville changed statutes and became a regular municipality.
