Paquetville church

The village was founded by Monseigneur Paquet in 1873, who brought several parishioners with him from Shippagan.

In 2023, the village of Paquetville combined with Saint-Isidore and six other districts to become Hautes-Terres.[3]

The village is the home of Édith Butler, who sings the song "Paquetville".
