With the advent of the railroad, Tycoon James Hill felt the name
Bullhook could he improved. He asked the town's founding fathers to select a new name. The
first meeting ended in a brawl. A second meeting was held later: it was agreed only the
original homesteaders Gus Descelles, Exor Pepin, Tom McDevitt, Joe DeMars and Charles
Goutchie were to vote. Joe DeMars suggested France since most were Frenchmen. No one
agreed. Gus Descelles suggested Havre after his parents' hometown. The motion carried.
