From http://www.msjb.qc.ca/decouvrir-saint-jean-baptiste/histoire/:
On January 18, 1694, when the first settlers of New France were in conflict with the Amerindians and the British troops, the Seigneurie de Rouville was conceded to the Sieur Jean-Baptiste Hertel. An officer in the navy, it was for his military exploits that he was awarded the Seigneurie which covers the current territories of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Saint-Hilaire. But this one, probably too much involved in the Iroquois' excessive war with the colony, does not fulfill his duties as lord (to keep fire and place, to clear the fief, to build his manor house and a flour mill, to open paths , recruit settlers ...) and does not settle in the Lordship. Moreover, it is only Jean-Baptiste René Hertel, the fifth of the line, who is the first to settle there in 1789.
From the early eighteenth century, the territory is occupied by some pioneers who have been granted land. Initially, clearing is limited to scattered thinnings along the river. In 1792, the whole of the Lordship includes 893 souls. The growing population, dependent on the parishes of Saint-Mathias (founded in 1739) and Saint-Mathieu-de-Beloeil (founded in 1772) then claims a service in the Lordship. The sixth seigneur, Melchior Hertel de Rouville, joins the steps including the importance of such an acquisition. A declaration made by priest Labelle in the nineteenth century gives us an idea of ??the importance of granting a church: "Bring a priest, build a chapel and colonization will be done by magic".
But a quarrel broke out in the Seigneury between the inhabitants of the Huron River and those of the Richelieu River to obtain the service. On September 15, 1795, a church square was marked on the Huron River. The parish is officially founded in 1797 and Saint-Jean-Baptiste is chosen to hold in honor of the first Lord. Two years later, another church was founded on the edge of the Richelieu.
The Seigneurie de Rouville was then divided into two parishes, that of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, with an area of ??17,529 square acres, and that of Saint-Hilaire with 11,557 square acres. In the territory of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, the lands are not covered with forests as in Saint-Hilaire and offer immense meadows more welcoming for the pioneer. Thus in 1832, Saint-Jean-Baptiste has 2,098 inhabitants against only 1,028 for Saint-Hilaire.
July 1, 1845, is the erection of the Municipality of Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Rouville covering the extent of the parish. Two years later, in 1847, the Municipality ceased to exist and its territory became part of the municipality of Rouville County. It was not until July 1, 1855 that the parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste was officially erected according to the Victoria Act.
The first elected mayor is Lambert Fontaine dit Bienvenue and the secretary-treasurer is Michel Lemonde. The top six advisors are Louis Rocheleau, Léandre Noiseux, Félix Lemonde, Jovite Blanchard, Joseph Brillon and Jean-Baptiste Hamel.
