History
The town was founded as a Catholic mission within the municipality of Windsor. In 1878, several families settled there. Several shops, a school and a post office were built. In 1912, the municipality was officially created when it split away from Windsor. Originally, the municipality was called Nord-du-Canton-de-Windsor. In 1922, the name of the municipality was changed to Saint-Claude. The core of the municipality was initially located in the northern part of Saint-Claude, but a fire destroyed the buildings and forced the inhabitants to move to the current part of the town. Lake Boissonneault was once used to supply the Windsor paper mill, but is now a residential area of the town.
