Historyâ»
Named for Saint Aloysius Gonzaga and Cap Tourmente, a stormy promontory named by, Samuel de Champlain, the municipality was set up in 1917 by a law that detached certain buildings and lands belongingââto the SĂ©minaire de QuĂ©bec from the parish of Saint-Joachim in order to avoid paying municipal taxes and "fees." At that time, it had an area of several square kilometres, including farmland; however, the law specified that if the SĂ©minaire sold any of its property, it would revert to Saint-Joachim.
By and by, all of the SĂ©minaire's property was sold and was thereby returned to Saint-Joachim, except for the Petit-Cap property, which now constitutes the entire territory of the municipality.

The municipality is not governed by a municipal council. But by the Board of Directors of the Séminaire de Québec. As such, it does not have a mayor but rather an administrator.
