It is situated on the north shore of Chaleur Bay along Quebec Route 132. In addition to Saint-Godefroi itself, the township also includes the community of Kelly (48°6′53″N 65°8′7″W / 48.11472°N 65.13528°W / 48.11472; -65.13528). Settlement began in the mid-19th century, and in 1873 the Parish of Saint-Godefroi was founded, named in honour of Charles-Godefroi Fournier (1829-1902), priest and founder of the parish. In 1889, its post office opened under the name of Saint-Godfroy. On December 16, 1913, the Township Municipality of Saint-Godefroy was created when the Township Municipality of Hope was divided in two. In 1924, Saint-Godefroy lost more than half its area when the Municipality of Shigawake was formed. In 1940, the spelling of the post office name was adjusted to Saint-Godefroi, while the township's name was not corrected until much later (the 1981 census was the last census to use the spelling "Saint-Godefroy*).
