How it began

The record of Price, from 1926 on

Price is named after William Evan Price. The name Priceville lasted until 1945, when Price took another. For the municipality of Price itself, Wikidata records March 3, 1926, a date that can be a founding as much as a merger.

How it began: Wikidata (CC0).

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • The tiers. Tiers follow the designation: national recognition and classement first, other federal designations next, provincial and local listings last.
  • People and events. Parks Canada’s open file gives its national historic persons no place. A town’s page names one only when the person was born there (matched by name and both life years) or one of its own historic places carries the name and its record speaks of them; national historic events stay off.
  • Protection. In Québec, a classement or a municipal citation under the Loi sur le patrimoine culturel protects the building in law; a federal designation recognises significance and binds only federal owners.
  • The grade. There is no history grade: the page sets out the record and compares it with other towns.
  • Québec’s register. Québec is the one province whose register is open: classements, declarations and municipal citations, described by the ministry in French.
  • The federal register. Every federal designation is in Parks Canada’s directory, and the Canadian Register of Historic Places gives most of them a bilingual statement of significance.
