In numbers

The municipality of Saint-Chrysostome was constituted on September 29, 1999, following the amalgamation of the municipality of the village of Saint-Chrysostome (1902) and the parish municipality of Saint-Jean-Chrysostome (-de-Russeltown). The Russeltown appellation, attributed to the southeastern portion of the Seigneury de Beauharnois, comes from the graphic tradition of that time, that the name of one of the sons of Lord Ellice be attributed to the territorial divisions of the seigneury by the surveyor (1800). The current name of the municipality celebrates the glory of Jean Chrysostome, whose name in Greek means “mouth of gold” and bears witness to the extraordinary eloquence of this preacher and Bishop of Constantinople (398), father of the Eastern Church.
