The town was originally called St. Isidore de Prescott, but in 1989, when the community became an incorporated village, the name was shortened to St. Isidore.[1] However, the incorporated village was short-lived and became part of The Nation Municipality nine years later in 1998. St-Isidore has a French elementary school (Kindergarten to 6) called L'école Catholique de St-Isidore . The school has between 200 and 300 students.
The St-Isidore Catholic Church, built in 1879 was destroyed by fire on July 23, 2016.[3]
