The city's namesake is derived from Hubertus, who later became commonly known as St. Hubert.
In 1958, Saint-Hubert officially gained city status.
At the height of the 1970 October Crisis, Quebec Labour Minister Pierre Laporte was kidnapped from his Saint-Lambert, Quebec home and held at Saint-Hubert Airport. His murdered body was eventually found in a trunk of a parked car at the airport. The city of Saint-Hubert, like many other Quebec municipalities, named a park in his honour.
In 1971, the former city of Laflèche (previously known as Mackayville), merged with the city of Saint-Hubert.
In 1992, the city began work on the creation of a large park, to be known as Parc de la Cité. It is located in the heart of the city and includes a 1 kilometer long man-made lake.
