Saint-Denis-De La Bouteillerie is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, located in the Kamouraska Regional County Municipality. Prior to November 16, 2013, it was known simply as Saint-Denis and was a parish municipality. The name change was a revival of an old name used from 1845 to 1855. When the name was officially changed, it was also retroactively declared that the name should have been known as Saint-Denis de Kamouraska since 1855. It contains the house of Jean-Charles Chapais, a National Historic Site of Canada.

History

This territory was known as Saint-Denis-De La Bouteillerie for a long time, but when the municipality was officially created, in 1855, it took the name of Saint-Denis-de-Kamouraska. During the mid 20th century, the name was quietly shortened to simply Saint-Denis. The name Saint-Denis stayed until 2013 when the status of the municipality changed from a parish municipality to a regular municipality. At the same time, the name of Saint-Denis was changed to the current Saint-Denis-De La Bouteillerie.
