History

This territory was opened to colonisation in 1905, but got off to a very slow start, with real development only taking off in 1936. A religious service was established here in 1949. The parish of Saint-Pierre-de-Lamy, canonically established in 1964, was not recognized as a civil entity until 1977, when the municipality was officially created. Until 1984, when the first municipal council was elected, the municipality was managed by an administrator appointed by the government. Saint-Pierre-de-Lamy is one of the organising localities for the 5th Acadian World Congress in 2014.
