History
Before the arrival of the explorers of European ancestry, these lands were inhabited by Algonquins. The region was covered with forests until the 1930s when a large number of unemployed fleeing the major Canadian cities struck by the global economic crisis arrived there in the hope of establishing themselves and rebuilding their lives.
At the time there was no road, so the people crossed the valley in barge, following the course of river" target="_blank">river.
Three parishes were founded there in the 1930s, namely Saint-Joachim-de-Beaucanton, Saint-Camille-de-Villebois and Saint-Ephrem-de-Val-Paradis. Today, Beaucanton and Val-Paradis have merged to become Valcanton, Quebec, and these villages are part of the huge municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), the largest in the world.
In the 1940s and 1950s, several covered bridges were built in the Turgeon Valley. Five can still be visited today: three on the Turgeon river" target="_blank">River and two on its tributaries.
