Shawville is a Canadian town located in the Pontiac Regional County Municipality in the administrative region of Outaouais in western Quebec.At the end of the 1860s, a group of citizens from Clarendon Centre, under the leadership of James Shaw (1818-1877), separated the municipality from the township of Clarendon.
While they had originally planned on naming the new entity “Daggville”, the name of a pioneer family, they opted instead to name it “Shawville” after James Shaw promised to donate 0.8 ha of land to the new municipality.
The first mayor of Shawville was James Shaw from 1856 to 1877 who had settled in Clarendon township in 1843. The municipality was officially established in 1874, and was populated by Irish protestant immigrants.
A Methodist Church was built in Shawville in 1835, while the Catholic Parish of Saint-Alexandre-de-Clarendon opened its doors in 1840. This church would later be renamed as Sainte-Mélanie, and later as Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur in 1917.
