Landrienne
Originally known as Saint-Barnabé-de-Landrienne, the place was named in honour of Jean-Marie Landriève Des Bordes (1712–1778), a French naval officer and administrative inspector.
History
Landrienne was created in 1918 by a contingent of pioneers, who came mainly from Sainte-Thècle and Saint-Prosper, settled along the Transcontinental railroad, in an area 12 km east of the town of Amos and north of La Corne.
In 1926, a large section of Landrienne was taken for the creation of the municipality of Saint-Marc-de-Figuery (along with another section of Figuery-et-Dalquier).
