About L'Ancienne-Lorette

L'Ancienne-Lorette is a city in central Quebec, Canada. It is a suburb of and an enclave within Quebec City. It was merged with Quebec City on January 1, 2002 as part of the 2000-2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, but after a 2004 referendum it was reconstituted as a separate city on January 1, 2006.

Its history dates back to 1674 when a group of Hurons fleeing war with the Iroquois settled here under the protection of the French. They left after a few decades and French settlers took over the land. n 1697, the Hurons left in search of better land for hunting and fishing. Thereafter the place became known as Vieille-Lorette or Ancienne-Lorette , because they christened the new place where they settled as Nouvelle-Lorette or Jeune-Lorette , which roughly corresponds to Loretteville today. A year later in 1698, the Parish of Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation was established.
