Saint-Magloire (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ maɡlwaʁ]) is a municipality in Les Etchemins Regional County Municipality in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Quebec, Canada. Its population was 712 as of the Canada 2021 Census. It was named in tribute to reverend Joseph-Magloire Rioux, first priest of the parish in 1863.

Prior to August 16, 1997 it was known as Saint-Magloire-de-Bellechasse.[4]

History

The municipality was officially founded in 1875 under the name of Roux-Bellechasse-et-Daaquam. In 1908 it lost a significant section of its territory for the creation of Sainte-Sabine. In 1921, Saint-Camille-de-Lellis separated from Roux-Bellechasse-et-Daaquam and became its own municipality. In 1954, the name Roux-Bellechasse-et-Daaquam was replaced with Saint-Magloire-de-Bellechasse. In 1997, the name Saint-Magloire-de-Bellechasse was shortened to became simply Saint-Magloire.[5]
