'''Saint-Ferdinand''' is a municipality in the region of the province of snowmobiling and ATV riding).

St-Ferdinand was once home to a large health care facility, the St-Julien Hospital, founded in 1870; however, rural exodus and the establishment of more advanced facilities in greater population centres such as Quebec City led to the indefinite closing of the facility in 2003, after several years of reduced operations as a long-term care facility.<ref>[http://www.municipalite.saint-ferdinand.qc.ca/hopital.htm Municipalité de St-Ferdinand: L'Hôpital St-Julien].

'''Saint-Ferdinand''' est une Municipalité du Québec (Canada) située dans la municipalité régionale de comté de L'Érable et la région administrative du Centre-du-Québec. La municipalité est située sur les berges du lac William. Elle résulte de la fusion en 2001 des municipalités de Saint-Ferdinand, de Bernierville et de Vianney.

==Histoire==

C'est en 1834 que le missionnaire-découvreur Ferdinand Gauvreau tombe sous le charme du site enchanteur et commence alors la construction du village de Saint-Ferdinand.

==Économie==

Les principaux secteurs d'activités économiques sont l'agriculture, la sylviculture et l'acériculture. L'Hôpital Saint-Julien, qui n'est plus en fonction aujourd'hui, a déjà accueilli jusqu'à 1500 patients souffrant de déficience intellectuelle.

On retrouve également le Manoir du Lac William sur le territoire de la municipalité.

==Origine du nom==

La municipalité est nommée en l'honneur de Ferdinand III de Castille et du père Ferdinand Gauvreau.
