     Cape Egmont Light- 
     
     house in 1916. The light 
     
     was lit for the first time 
     
     on September 1, 1884 by 
     
     the keeper, Bruno Poirier. 
     
     Until the electrification of 
     
     the light in the 1950s, 
     
     the lighthouse was in- 
     
     habited by a lighthouse 
     
     keeper and his family. 
     
     This was once a favourite 
     
     picnic spot. (Department

     is located beside the stream in question, which is actually a 
     
     river. For many years, the parish was also called Fifteen Point, 
     
     the point of land where the parish church stands. 
     
    
   
   
    
     There are four districts or villages in the parish of Mont- 
     
     Carmel. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Cape Egmont 
     
    
   
   
    
     This area is named after the cape on the western tip of the 
     
     parish (see p. 21 for the origin of Egmont). The locals usually 
     
     refer to the community as Le Cap or Le Grand-Cap. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mont-Carmel 
     
    
   
   
    
     The village where Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel church is 
     
     located is called Mont-Carmel, as is the parish. For many 
     
     years it was also known as Fifteen Point, which was also used 
     
     by the post office from 1858 to 1899. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Saint-Raphaél (St. Raphael) 
     
    
   
   
    
     This area was originally referred to, at least by Anglophones, 
     
     as the Back Settlement. Around 1885, it was baptized Saint- 
     
     Raphaél as a tribute to the first settler, Raphaél Poirier, who 
     
     was granted the deed to his land in 1829.
