History

In 1788, the geographic township of Godmanchester was surveyed, and by 1795, a group of Acadians had settled in the area, followed by Irish and French Canadians. In 1810, a mission was established, named after Pope Anicetus. It became the Parish of Saint-Anicet-de-Godmanchester in 1827. In 1851, its post office opened.[1]

On July 1, 1845, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Anicet was formed, but merged into the Municipality of Beauharnois Number Two on September 1, 1847 (along with Dundee, Hinchinbrooke, Hemmingford, Godmanchester, Russeltown, and Ormstown). It was reestablished on July 1, 1855.[1][5]

On December 10, 2011, the parish municipality changed statutes to become a regular municipality.[1][5]
