Ponteix’s history

Collection

Ponteix began in 1908, when Father Albert-Marie Royer, a priest from the Auvergne region of France, established a parish and hamlet called Notre-Dame d'Auvergne north of Notukeu Creek. Five years later, the Canadian Pacific Railway laid track south of the creek, and the townsite was moved there. After the move, the community took the name Ponteix, after Father Royer's former parish in France, Le Ponteix, in the commune of Aydat.
