History
The first settlers of Ste. Anne arrived in 1856 at Pointe-des-Chênes ('where the
oaks meet') from
Quebec in search of
farmland. The main industry within this initial settlement to the area, which included 198 families, was purposed towards supplying
lumber for the construction of the
Saint Boniface Cathedral. By the end of the decade, the
Hudson's Bay Company established a
trading post in the community, which eventually brought the settlement a hotel,
general store, and a jail.
The Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne was
incorporated in February 1881, but soon after amalgamated with the
Rural Municipality of LaBroquerie in 1890. Nearly two decades later, in 1908 the RM of Ste. Anne became re-established by an Act of the Legislature.
