History
The community has the name of the local Giroux family, being named after Father Henri Giroux, a Roman Catholic missionary appointed by Émile Grouard. In 1951, Girouxville was incorporated as a village. In June 2026, the village was hit by an EF2 tornado without prior warning, which caused extensive property damage to many houses.
