Origin and meaning

This hamlet is located on both banks of the Petite-Nation River. Its name commemorates Amédée Papineau (Montreal, 1819 -- Montebello, 1903), eldest son of Louis-Joseph Papineau. He studied at the Collège de Saint-Hyacinthe. A member of the Fils de la Liberté, he followed in his father's footsteps during the events of 1837-1838. Upon his father's death in 1871, he took over the administration of the Louis-Joseph-Papineau manor. Saint-Amédée was also the location of the local post office between 1877 and 1929.
