History
The first settlement of Henryville was founded in 1810 by notary Edme Henry, from whom it took its name. The area covered was vast at the time, including the current municipalities of Saint-Sébastien, Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge and part of Sainte-Anne-de-Sabrevois.
The municipality was officially created in 1855 under the name of Saint-Georges. During the rest of the 19th century, Saint-Georges lost huge part of its territory when Notre-Dame-des-Anges-de-Stanbridge, Saint-Sébastien and finally, Sainte-Anne-de-Sabrevois became separate municipalities. In 1927, the urban part of Saint-Georges split from the rural part and took the name of Henryville (the name that was used for this area before 1855). In 1957, the rest of Saint-Georges also switches its name to Henryville. Finally, in 1999, the village of Henryville (urban) was merged with the rest of the municipality of Henryville (rural) to form a single entity once again. The municipality was severely affected by the 2011 Lake Champlain and Richelieu River floods.
