In 1870, the first settler arrived there and cleared the first land for agriculture in the Témiscamingue region.

In 1870, the first settler arrived there and cleared the first land for agriculture in the Témiscamingue region. At the end of that century, mining prospectors arrived and discovered copper, cobalt, nickel, and silver deposits, resulting in a brief mining boom (that ended in 1904 when larger deposits were found in Cobalt, Ontario).[6]

In 1899, the parish of Saint-Édouard was founded, named after Édouard-Charles Fabre. In 1904, the Township Municipality of Fabre was established, which was dissolved in 1912, when it was divided into the Parish Municipalities of Saint-Édouard-de-Fabre and Saint-Placide.[1][6]
