However, it was at the end of the 19th century that the place experienced an economic and demographic boom due to the arrival, in 1875, of the "L�vis et Kennebec" railway built by Charles-Armstrong Scott and Louis-Napol�on Larochelle. de Saint-Anselme and the operation, from 1879, of a sawmill by Charles Crawford and his daughter S�lina Atkinson. A first mission was therefore opened in 1881. It obtained the status of parish in 1895 following its detachment from Sainte-Marie, Saint-Isidore and Saint-Bernard. The same year, the municipality of the parish of Saint-Maxime was officially recognized. In 1932, it will be divided by the formation of the municipality of Taschereau-Fortier at the request of the farmers. It will reunite in 1995 under the name of the Municipality of Scott.
