==History==

In 1651, the jesuit priest Buteaux was the first European known to have travelled up the Saint-Maurice River to this river's first set of great falls. Afterwards, missionaries going to the Upper Saint-Maurice would rest here.〔 Before Shawinigan Falls was established, the local economy had been largely based on lumber and agriculture.
