Toponymy
The toponym "Mont Joseph-Fortin" had been proposed to the Commission de toponymie du Québec by the administration. A native of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Joseph Fortin worked as a coureur de bois and mountain guide for the entire territory of the park. Fortin was a member of Fernald's expeditions in 1905 and 1906 and 1923. He was recognized for his ability to herbalise and assimilate the Latin names of plants. This toponym emphasizes the efforts of an authentic mountain guide. He died on May 30, 1960.[2]
The toponym "Mont Joseph-Fortin" was made official on February 7, 1989, at the place name bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
