For unknown reasons, the place, that was originally known as Saint-Denis, came to be called Saint-Adelme.In 1933, its post office opened. On September 9 that same year, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Adelme was formed out of territory ceded by the Parish Municipalities of Saint-Jérôme-de-Matane and Sainte-Félicité, as well as some previously unorganized territory.
