Le nom de cette ville provient de François-Saturnin Lascaris d'Urfé (1641-1701), sulpicien, ayant fonder une chapelle sur la Pointe Caron tout près en 1686 (Chapelle Saint-Louis.

Cette maison a été achetée en 1909 par James Morgan président de Henry Morgan & Co Ltd, aujourd'hui La Baie. Il en fit don le 5 octobre 1912 à la ville nouvellement incorporée 1911) pour devenir le future hôtel de ville.
À cette époque, M. Edward. Maxwell, architecte bien connu (musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal, les hôtels du CP (Winnipeg, Calgary, Montréal, la tour du Château Frontenac), etc.) se porta volontaire pour superviser la rénovation de l'ancienne maison de ferme.

Aujourd'hui, c'est toujous ce même aspect architectural qui prévaut.
