In 1841, the Reverend Lucien Galtier erected near this site the Chapel of Saint Paul, from which the city derived its name. In October 1841, he had logs cut, prepared, and put up, and soon after a poor church of logs, fitted so as to remind one of the Stable of Bethlehem, was built. With this church, the nucleus of Saint Paul was formed, and it remained dedicated to Saint Paul as he expressed the wish that the place be called by no other name.
