Jean-Luc Brassard heads the list in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, 11 km away, which has 80 names. 605 towns across Quebec can name a famous person born there. The longest list of any town in Quebec belongs to Montréal, with 5,278. Only Montréal outnumbers Québec in Quebec, whose list holds 1,179 names.
Who’s listed here
Someone is listed here when Wikidata places their birth inside Saint-Zotique’s municipal boundary and their English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Wikidata places 1 person here, but their article doesn’t confirm Saint-Zotique as the birthplace yet, so nobody is listed.

Who counts as from Saint-Zotique?
Anyone Wikidata records as born at a place inside Saint-Zotique’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), hospitals and districts within it included, whose English or French Wikipedia article confirms it. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes are left out.
Why is someone missing?
Wikidata may give their birthplace only as Canada or a province, as a rural area or hamlet without a page here, or as another town; or their article may name a different place, or none. Only people both sources agree on are listed, and a fix on Wikidata or Wikipedia shows up here at the next refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
