How it began

Nominingue’s record begins in 1883

1883 is the date of Nominingue’s municipality in Wikidata, and like many such dates it may record a charter, not the first homes. The name Lac-Nominingue lasted until 2000, when Nominingue took another. In 1971 the municipality took over from Bellerive-sur-le-Lac, Loranger and Nominingue.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

The grade. History is described, not graded, for every Canadian town.
Protection. Here the register is also the protection: classement and citation under Québec’s cultural heritage law control changes, while federal recognition does not.
People and events. The open directory puts its national historic persons nowhere, so a town shows one only on firm ground: a birth there, matched by name and life years, or a historic place there named for the person whose record says so. Events are left out.
The tiers. Three tiers: the top for National Historic Sites, classified federal buildings and Québec’s classements, a second for the other federal designations, a third for provincial and municipal listings.
The federal register. Parks Canada’s Directory of Federal Heritage Designations lists every National Historic Site, federal heritage building, heritage railway station and lighthouse; the Canadian Register of Historic Places adds their statements in English and French.
Québec’s register. In Québec the ministry of culture publishes its register openly: provincial classements, declared sites and the municipalities’ citations all appear, with their descriptions.
