The parish municipality of Plessisville was established on 1 July 1855, as
the canton municipality of Somerset-Sud. It completely surrounds the village
municipality of Plessisville, which was established on 27 April 1855 and
transformed into a town on 10 February 1955.
The parish municipality of
Plessisville adopted the same name as the town it surrounds in 1946.

Plessisville is named for Joseph-Octave Plessis (1763-1825), Bishop (1806), then
Archbishop (1819-1825) of Quebec.

Flag is a logo on white.
The
identity of the parish of Plessisville is defined around four poles: the citizen
and his family, business, agriculture, and leisure and community.
The
municipality's geography is illustrated by a scattered lozenge synthesizing the
somewhat irregular shape of the territory. The lozenge is composed of four
sectors made of square units and diversified rectangles, which represent both
unity and group. Each sector is identified by a color: red, a symbol of emotion,
identifies the citizen and his family; green represents agriculture, smaller and
bigger farms, as well; yellow, the sun's bright color, is associated with
leisure and community; navy blue, a synonym of prestige and seriousness,
illustrates business, smaller and bigger companies, as well.
Blue is also
used for the intricate "P" of "Paroisse de Plessisville" and for the baseline.
The "double P" is framed in a square space suggesting structure and
organization. The typography, chosen as legible and modern, was adapted to the
logo's construction lines. The typeface is Geomanist, designed by Atipo.
For general perception, in compliance with the baseline, no space is closed.
Circulation is made possible through any element. When the logo is identified to
any of the four sectors, it rotates like windmill toys so that the matching
color is placed in the lower part, close to the baseline.
