With its plentiful woods and vegetation, Lévy Point seems more like a nature park than a site that has been occupied for hundreds of years. However, colonization began in 1647 when the first French inhabitants settled there. After Guillaume Couture, the Miville, Guay, Cadoret, Poiré and Bégin families settled here permanently. In this 1824 image, Lévy Point appears to be still essentially rural.
