Saint-Jerome (2006 Population 63,729) is a town in Quebec, Canada, near Mirabel, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Montreal along Autoroute des Laurentides. The town is a gateway to the Laurentian Mountains and its resorts.
The town is named after Saint Jerome (ca. 347 – September 30, 420), a church father best known as the translator of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin. His translation is known as the Vulgate. Francois-Xavier-Antoine Labelle, a Roman Catholic priest who was the great “colonizer” (promoter of settlement) of the North of Montreal, was in charge of the pastoral administration of Saint-Jerome of 1868 until his death, in 1891. Eight years after his arrival, he had a railroad built linking Saint-Jerome and Montreal.
