Lisieux

In 1915 a general store was erected south of the present location of Lisieux, this was to be the beginning of a unique community. Over the next few years more buildings were added and in 1917 the hamlet was named Joeville after Joseph Prefontaine, one of the area homesteaders. By 1925 Joeville was a fair-sized hamlet with a pool hall, 2 drug stores , a lumber yard, a real estate office, a garage, 2 cafe's. a jeweler, a hardware store and a power plant.

When the railway arrived in 1926 a controversy began with one group wanting to move Joeville toward the site where two grain elevators were constructed by the tracks. In the end 26 buildings were moved to Rockglen and the rest to the new site and Joeville was renamed Lisieux after a city in France.

As with many towns and hamlets, Lisieux has declined over the years and now is home to the ST. Theresa Catholic Church and a few residents.
