How it began
Saint-Victor on record since 1852
Saint-Victor takes its name from Victor I, pope and Bishop of Rome from 189 to 199. Before 1996, Saint-Victor went by municipalité de Saint-Victor-de-Tring. In Wikidata’s entry, the municipality of Saint-Victor dates from February 24, 1852; that can mean a founding, a charter or a merger.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
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 grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
•
Protection. A place classified or cited under Québec’s law is protected; National Historic Site status alone protects only what the federal government owns.
•
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. Québec’s Répertoire du patrimoine culturel records the province’s classements and declarations and every municipal citation, each with a description and a point.
•
The tiers. The highest designations are National Historic Sites, Classified Federal Heritage Buildings and Québec’s classements; then come the other federal designations; then provincial and local listings.
