History

La Martre ca. 1935

The area saw permanent settlement in the late 19th century and was originally called Rivière-à-la-Marthe, after the Marten River (French: Rivière à la Marthe) that flows into the

Gulf of Saint Lawrence there. The marten is found along this river's banks and is abundant in the Gaspé region.[1]

In 1923, the place separated from the municipality of

Robert Christie. In 1950, the township municipality was split in two when Marsoui was incorporated as a village municipality.[6]

In 1970, the municipality was renamed to La Martre.[1]
