Although the post office has been known as Audet since 1894, named after Michel Audet, the first postmaster, the municipality was known as Saint-Hubert-de-Spaulding until 1959, referring to the township of Spaulding, in which it is located.
Audet sits on a plateau at 535 metres (1,755 ft) in altitude in the Appalachians, making it one of the highest municipalities in Quebec.
