Dolbeau-Mistassini

Trappists meet a paper mill

Dolbeau-Mistassini in brief

Dolbeau-Mistassini sits where the Mistassini, Mistassibi, and Rivière aux Rats meet Lac Saint-Jean. Mistassini's founding is credited to Trappists from Oka, granted land in 1892: a rare monastic start for a Quebec town. Parish life followed in 1895.

Across the river, Dolbeau rose in 1926 around a Lake Saint John Power and Paper mill built by Emil Andrew Wallberg and John Stadler, and took its name from Récollet missionary Jean Dolbeau. The two cities merged on 17 December 1997 into one commercial hub for Lac-Saint-Jean.
