Saint-Tite-des-Caps is a municipality in La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality in Quebec, Canada. Located on Route 138 to Baie-Saint-Paul, this road climbs up sharply to about 700 meters (2,300 ft) to reach the town nestled in a valley. The Sainte-Anne-du-Nord River forms the municipal western boundary.

The place is named after Titus, companion of Saint Paul, whereas "des-Caps" indicates its position within the Capes Region, that stretches from Cape Tourmente to Baie-Saint-Paul.[1]

History

In 1853, the mission was founded, that became the Parish of Saint-Tite-des-Caps in 1876 when it separated from Saint-Joachim. In 1866, its post office opened. In 1872, the Municipality of Saint-Tite-des-Caps was incorporated.[1]
