A view from 1939:

FRENCHTOWN, (3,027 alt., 187 pop.), lies in a rich valley. The spire and cross of its weather-beaten old church are its most prominent landmarks. It has an appearance of calm that is belied by the vigor and aggressiveness of its inhabitants, who are mostly of French-Canadian descent. Local children still begin their schooling with little understanding of the English language. St. Jean is the patron saint of the parish, and his day, June 24th, is noisily celebrated.
