Chambord was known under several different names. The village emerged as the
Ouiatchouan mission; two groups of colonists soon established in Pointe-aux-Pins
(Pines' Point) and Pointe-aux-Trembles (Aspens' Point), respectively. The parish
of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Pointe-aux Trembles was erected, after a visit by Louis
Archambeault, Commissioner of Public Works, the parish was renamed to
Saint)Louis-de-la-Pointe-aux-Trembles.
To prevent confusion with two other
laces called Pointe-aux-Trembles, the parish was renamed to Saint-Louis-de-Métabetchouan.
The post-office, however, was named to Chambord. It is believed that land
surveyor Pascal-Horace Dumais pushed the name as a tribute to the count of
Chambord, the unfortunate pretender to the throne of France.
The name of
Saint-Louis-de-Chambord was coined on 28 June 1888 in the "Progrès du Saguenay"
and in the railway timetable dated 18 July 1888, to be officially adopted by the
municipality on 19 January 1926.
On 16 April 1932, the municipality of
Saint-Louis-de-Chambord was renamed to the village of Chambord. The village was
merged on 8 December 1973 with the parish of Saint-Louis-de-Chambord to form the
municipality of Chambord.

The (weather) cock as a
whole represents the pride of the inhabitants of Chambord.
The cock's crest
and tail represent lake Saint-John, with its waves sometimes smooth sometimes
dangerous.
The arrow represents a municipality looking to the future.
The
shingled roof and the background represent the country and fields as far as the
eye can see under the sun.
The roof's lower edge represent factory chimneys,
emphasizing the opening of the municipality to the greatest progress.
