On October 29, 1672, an area measuring 1.5 lieues by 1 lieue (approximately 4.8 km by 3.2 km) along the Sainte-Anne River was granted by Intendant Jean Talon as a seignory to Edmond de Suève and Thomas Tarieu de Lanouguère (also known as Lanaudière). On March 4, 1697, Governor Frontenac and Intendant Champigny granted an additional 3 lieues to Marguerite Denis, widow of Thomas Tarieu. The islands were added to the seignory on April 6, 1697, and their inclusion was confirmed on October 30, 1700. An order dated January 8, 1710, removed co-seigneur François Chorel de Saint-Romain d'Orvilliers and awarded the islands to Pierre-Thomas Tarieu de la Pérade, son of Thomas Tarieu and husband of Madeleine de Verchères, a Quebec heroine, who at the age of 14, successfully defended her parents’ fort against a group of Iroquois. In April 1735, another expansion was granted to Pierre-Thomas Tarieu, after which the Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade Seignory came to bear his name. More information...
