History

This territory was known as Saint-Denis-De La Bouteillerie for a long time, but when the municipality was officially created, in 1855, it took the name of Saint-Denis-de-Kamouraska. During the mid 20th century, the name was quietly shortened to simply Saint-Denis. The name Saint-Denis stayed until 2013 when the status of the municipality changed from a parish municipality to a regular municipality. At the same time, the name of Saint-Denis was changed to the current Saint-Denis-De La Bouteillerie.
