Visiting the Region
Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac 2 C-3
Benedectine monks have lived a contemplative religious life at the Saint-Benoit-du-Lac Abbey (on the
west shore of Lake Memphremagog) since 1912, observing the rules of Saint Benoit de Nursie (480-547)
and the constitution of the Monastic Congregation of Solesmes, France. Their lives are primarily focused
on the search for God and on prayer, balanced with study, physical work and pastoral ministry to their
visitors and guests.
Part of the Abbey's buildings are the work of Dom Paul Bellot (1876-1944), the internationally celebrated
French Benedictine architect. His style is characterized by the search for perfect harmony in accordance
with the geometric laws of nature. Later buildings include a guest-house, the basement and the steeple
of the Abbey church, all designed by Dom Claude Côté (1909-1986). The Church, designed by Montreal
architect Dan S. Hanganu, was consecrated on December 4, 1994.
On the grounds, a guest house is available for men who wish to withdraw in retreat for a few days in an
atmosphere of peace and meditation. Women are also welcomed in a neighbouring house run by nuns.
Eucharist is celebrated daily at 11 a.m. in Gregorian chant as is Vespers starting at 5 p.m. except
Thursdays (at 7 p.m.) and Tuesdays in July and August. Certain parts of these public prayers are conducted
in French.

Abercorn population 321 B-3
Located about 10 km from Sutton along the American border on Route 139, Abercorn was founded in 1929.
This town was originally called Sheppard's Mills in honour of one of its first colonists, Thomas Sheppard of
New Hampshire, who built a grain mill and sawmill.
The name Abercorn came from Linglithgowshire, close to Edinburg – after James, second Marquis and first
Duke of Abercorn – and still inspires memories of Scottish nobility. Thomas Spencer built the first log cabin in
Abercorn east of Ormes Road in April 1792. Experience the charm of a small hamlet where the Loyalist cachet
has been preserved.

Visiting the Region
Asbestos population 6,977 C-1
Stéphane Lemire
Camp musical d’Asbestos Asbestos
Asbestos is most famous for its mine shaft and for good reason – it is the largest open-pit mine in the world!
Asbestos – the mineral – was discovered in this location in 1879, and William H. Jeffrey began to mine it in 1881.
This serpentine site produces chrysotile, one of two known asbestos fibres currently mined in Quebec. An
observation post lets visitors marvel at the sheer size of the mine – 350 metres deep and two kilometres in
diameter. In Asbestos you’ll find quad trails at Parc récréotouristique de Mine Jeffrey where VTT enthusiasts have
access to more than 30 km of trails created over mounds of mining residue. These trails provide an exceptional
view of the mine and entire Asbestos region. The Mineralogical Museum presents minerals and the history of this
“Asbestos Capital.” Asbestos residents have every right to be proud, and their collective memory includes the
mining strikes of 1920, 1937 and 1949. The last of these left a permanent mark on the history of Quebec and
introduced some of our lead trade unionists. The town was first instituted as a postal station and became a village
in 1899; it received its statute in 1939. Trois-Lacs, recently amalgamated with Asbestos, offers country living and
can be reached by Route 255 from Danville and Route 249 from Windsor. The population of this area grows five
times its size during the summer season.

Ascot Corner population 2,617 D-2
Founded in 1901, the municipality of Ascot Corner drew its name from an English village, Ascot, which was
renowned for its equestrian grounds. George Stacey – whose father, a government employee in London, sent
his son to Lower Canada to avoid jail for bad gambling debts – was one of the fledgling town's first residents.
As far as 'Corner' goes, it is explained through the village's location – at the junction of Stoke, Westbury,
Eaton and Ascot Townships, as well as at intersecting roads leading to East Angus, Cookshire, Lennoxville
and Sherbrooke. Facing a bridge that spans the St. Francis River are the ash-white church and its rectory,
proudly perched on the promontory.
Audet population 702 F-1
In 2002, this parish – originally named for the patron saint of hunters, Saint-Hubert de Spalding – celebrated
its centennial. The municipality later adopted its current name to honour its first postmaster, Mr. Audet.
Nestled between the American border and the Chaudière riverbed, at 535 metres above sea level, the village
offers a unique view of the surrounding area. The Samson River crosses the hamlet at its eastern tip. Residents
make their living from seasonal tourism linked to fishing, hunting and snowmobiling, as well as from forestry
work, agriculture and maple products.

Visiting the Region
Austin population 1,300 C-3
Splitting away from East Bolton, Austin became its own town in 1938, and is named for its founder, a Quaker
who immigrated here in 1795. Nicholas Austin lived on the west side of Lake Memphremagog in the township
granted to him in 1797. Later, an Episcopal church was established – the Church of Atonement (1865) –
acquired by the monks of the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac abbey in 1937, but sold shortly thereafter to the Sherbrooke
Diocese. The Saint-Benoît abbey is one of the main reasons for Austin's notoriety, but credit is also due to
Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, a citizen and the son of a minister who, in 1906, completed the world's first radio
voice transmission from Brant Rock, Massachusetts to Norfolk, England.

Ayer’s Cliff population 1,187 C-3
Formed in 1909, the municipality of Ayer's Cliff still maintains its Anglo-Saxon lustre from the late 18th century.
John Langmaid of New Hampshire took ownership of the territory, which he baptized under his own name as
Langmaid's Flat. He ran a small hotel, welcoming visitors traveling up from the United States. In 1799, a man
named Thomas Ayer bought property to lay a rail line. When this was accomplished, the town took on the
name Ayer's Flat. But this term – suggesting a swampy lowland – didn't bode well for the area's investment
potential. And so, in 1904, "Cliff" became the town's suffix – a better reflection of the area's scenic
attributes. Every summer, the citizens of Ayer's Cliff hold a colossal fair at their county fairgrounds – one of
the oldest such events in the region. Music can still be heard from one of Quebec's few remaining public
bandstands. The Cliff is also a great access point to Lake Massawippi – Abenaki for "lake of deep water."

Visiting the Region
Barnston-Ouest population 601 C-3
It seems that Algonquins tilled the soil of Barnston Township between 1300 and 1680. These were followed by
the Abenakis and later by Irish Loyalists, while the Francophone wave began around 1850 after the
construction of the railway. While the tracks did not run through town, the railway was responsible for an influx
of Francophones to the Coaticook MRC. Today, residents live in the hamlets of Way's Mills and Kingscroft, which
make up Barnston-West since 1946. An American tweed and flannel manufacturer, L.S. Way, arrived in 1808,
leaving his name to the village that crosses the Niger River and which can be found along Holmes Road. The
hamlet of Kingscroft was named after Ira King, an innkeeper who set up his establishment in 1810. In effect,
Kingscroft signifies “paddock, King's pasture.” Apart from the eight bridges that cross the Niger, the area’s
main attractions are a United Church (1881), the Epiphany Church (1888), the Holmes round barn (1907),
and a fire station equipped with a tower used for drying hoses (1952).

Bedford (Town) population 2,639 A-3
For years regarded as the biggest town in Missisquoi County, Bedford (1890) is located close to the Vermont
border. The first settlers arrived in 1804 and by 1860, the village had 400 citizens. At the end of the
19th century, Bedford was a significant centre for commerce where one could find a railway station, retail
stores, agricultural businesses, the offices of the Bedford Times newspaper, a subsidiary of the Exchange Bank,
an office of the Dominion Telegraph Company, a tannery, several manufacturers and a foundry. The Anglican
(1834), United (1871) and Catholic (1910) churches and a number of splendidly preserved residences are the
pride of both English and French residents. The Meules trail, along with the Centre d'interprétation de la rivière
aux Brochets, allows an exceptional view of the downtown area. New since 2005: A heritage walking trail
close to the downtown core allows visitors to discover the heritage and architectural character of a dozen
homes and businesses.
Bolton-Est population 724 B-3
Once known as Peasley Corner, Bolton Centre and South Bolton merged in 1876 to become East Bolton.
Even its Francophone citizens refer to themselves as East Boltoners! Until the end of the 19th century, the
area saw an era of copper mining. South Bolton, formerly Rexford's Corner, is distinguished by heritage
homes and a former school that dates back to 1832. Visitors can also see Holy Trinity Anglican Church, built in
1860. The village of Kimbolton became Bolton Centre in 1868. Twenty years later, there were 200 inhabitants
in the municipality, and you can still admire their buildings of yesteryear: the United Church (1879),
St. Patrick's Anglican Church (1875), and the town hall (1867).

Visiting the Region
Bolton-Ouest population 710 B-3
The municipality of West Bolton occupies the western part of Bolton Township, close to Brome Lake. Established
in 1876 with the municipality of East Bolton, it was the largest population centre in the Township and one of
the first towns in the area. Its name was chosen in memory of Harry, sixth and last Duke of Bolton. Before
Bolton, the village bore a succession of other names – French Church, recalling a church built by the first
group of French colonists to settle there, and Duboyce's, the name of the first inhabitant. This part of Bolton
Township was first colonized by Loyalists, who were joined by French Canadians between 1830 and 1840.
Attraction: Rallyes Découvertes, see page 75
Bonsecours population 560 B-2
At the end of the 18th century, Joseph Bouchette
Mine Cristal
surveyed the north section of Stukely Township, which
became the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours in
1840. The British Crown distributed lots to the
Protestant clergy, then to militiamen who were
released after the war of 1812-1815, and finally to
French Canadians from Acadia and the Montreal
suburbs. In 1961 they adopted the name Bonsecours.
Today, their livelihood centres largely on a quartz mine
– the Mine Cristal – the only one in Canada and the
seventh largest mine in the world.

Brigham population 2,305 A-3
Founded in 1855, the municipality of Brigham is west
Studio Ghis, Photographe

of Cowansville and close to Bromont. Its name became
Adamsville in 1961, in honour of George Adams,
owner of the land on which the church was founded in
1873. In 1980, there was a further name-change in
favour of Brigham – this time to pay homage to
Erratus Oakley Brigham, owner of the town's largest
business (a brick factory) throughout the mid-19th
century. The Brigham area also contains two covered
bridges, one of which was totally restored in 2001. Be
sure to visit the neo-Renaissance Brigham Manor
(1865), as well as Brigham United Church (1872). Two
local vineyards should also be mentioned, as well as

exotic animals, a blueberry field, sugar shacks and
numerous historical homes dating from 1865 through 1890. Living in a mainly pastoral agricultural setting,
Brigham residents also benefit from excellent local farmers' markets.
Brome population 285 B-3
The municipality of Brome was created in 1923. Since 1799, it has been growing and changing along both
sides of the Stage Coach Road – at the time, a popular coach route. Its name comes from a village in the
English county of Suffolk. The Brome County Agricultural Society is the oldest agricultural society in Canada.
Its popular annual fair preserves a very typical aspect of the Eastern Townships.

Visiting the Region
Bromont population 6,049 ( B-3
Sébastien Larose
Musée du chocolat (chocolate museum) Parc aquatique Ski Bromont, water park
The modern history of Bromont started at the end of the 18th century, with the arrival of the Loyalists. Later
enhanced by Francophone and Irish settlers, this community flourished in harmony. The year 1964 marks the
founding of the town of Bromont. At the time, the founding family, the Désourdys, planned the town’s
development along two major axes: a tourism sector and a high-technology industrial sector. The dynamic nature
of this town over the past 40 years has significantly contributed to the rapid expansion of its industrial, sports,
cultural, and tourism sectors. Bromont has an international reputation and welcomes visitors, sports enthusiasts
and athletes at its first-class facilities year round. In addition to the Ski Bromont centre, the largest lit skiing
facility in North America that converts into a water park and mountain bike trail site during the summer, Bromont
residents are fortunate to have their own airport, excellent lodgings, renowned health centres, camping, several
excellent golf courses, a bike path that joins the Route Verte, an Olympic velodrome, equestrian centres including
an Olympic equestrian park, and hiking and equestrian trails. Each year, Bromont hosts unique events in Quebec:
the Chocolate Festival, the International Bromont (horse jumping competition), Bromont en Art, and major
cycling competitions throughout the summer. Tourists will enjoy the Carrefour Champêtre with its many
boutiques as well as the old-fashioned charm of Shefford Street and its businesses, heritage trail, restaurants and
terraces, chocolate museum, art galleries and antique shops.

Bury population 1,249 D-2
Accessible by Routes 108 and 255, the heart of the village of Bury
boasts a number of residences featuring a variety of architectural
styles influenced by the different cultures of the people who
cleared the township’s land in 1836. Bury’s first settlers came
from England’s rural regions of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent, and
from the northern United States.After 1837, a few Gaelic families
Stéphane Lemire
from the Isles of Lewis and Lochbroom settled in the region. The
town of Bury was founded in 1855. Small businesses of the time
were sustained by the presence of the railroad and forestry. The
latter, with agriculture, shaped Bury’s modern-day economy.

To reach the border community of Chartierville, take scenic

Route 257 South. Prior to its founding in 1870 by colonists
from Saint-Hyacinthe, gold-seekers flocked to the area. This
patch of land, 139 km square and 505 metres in altitude, is
one of the highest regions in Quebec – the 'El Dorado' of
the Eastern Townships still glitters with the natural, wild
riches of the surrounding countryside – and its famed optical
phenomenon, the “Magnetic Hill.” In the orange glow of
sunset, you may catch a glimpse of the region's many deer
or the occasional majestic moose.

Cleveland population 1,609 C-1
Immigrants from a scattering of locales in the British Isles arrived to clear the land along the St. Francis River
at the end of the 18th century. It is believed that they chose the name Cleveland to honour the Cleveland
family, which included several notable figures in the municipality at the time. With the arrival of the railway
in 1850, the town's population increased significantly and its economy diversified to include sawmills,
potassium processing, a forge, and copper, slate and chromate mines.
Coaticook population 9,187 ? C-3
Stéphane Lemire
Covered bridge and round barn at Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook

Its history as “the Pearl of the Townships” began in the 18th century when Richard Baldwin Sr. cleared
land in the Baldwin region and continued along the Koatikeku River, which in Abenaki means “river of
the pinelands.” From 1830 onward, community life in Coaticook improved remarkably, thanks to the
combined efforts of several pioneer families – the Bucklands, Parkhursts, Clevelands, Ingrahams, Pages and
Sleepers. The municipality was incorporated in 1864, and with the arrival of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic
Railroad in 1852 and the Grand Trunk in 1854, the town experienced major growth. With the amalgamation
of Barnston Township and Barford in 1999, Coaticook considerably expanded its territory. The 108 farms
situated on its territory, 66 of which are dairy, make Coaticook a major player in Quebec's dairy production.
The former hamlet of Baldwin offers a variety of outdoor activities, be it the Parc Découverte nature de
Baldwin or the trails at Mount Pinnacle which offers a magnificent view of Lake Lyster. The recommended
heritage tours are an interesting way to enjoy the town's rich architecture: the Barnston Baptist Church

Eugene O. Baldwin in 1912, is also a remarkable attraction with siding in a relief maple leaf pattern. The
Plateau Farm was declared a historical site in 1999, and was recently acquired by the Centre d'Initiatives

metres deep. The Coaticook Gorge Park features a covered bridge (a faithful recreation of an 1887 bridge lost
to flooding in 1998), two observation towers, and an outdoor campsite, among other major attractions. Be
sure to visit the foot suspension bridge that links two sides of the gorge; it spans the void for 169 metres,
and according to Guinness is the longest such bridge in the world.
The park features a new bird-watching trail complete with feeders and an observation tower installed
three years ago. With the growing popularity of avitourism (birding), there are now more than 11 observation
sites to discover throughout the Coaticook region!

Visiting the Region

Birthplace of Louis Stephen Saint-Laurent, Canada's Prime Minister from 1948 to 1957, the municipality of Compton
is an essential stop on any tour of the region.After the merger of Compton Township and Compton Village (1994)
and the further amalgamation with Compton Station (1999), this is the second largest municipality in the area.
In 1893, British officers, convinced of the agricultural possibilities offered by this land, named it for a town in the
county of Surrey, England. The village became more of an economic centre with the expansion of the railway
around 1850, and French Canadians began to arrive around 1871. The residents of Compton built a number of
prestigious institutions around 1874, including the Ladies' College and the St-Laurent's quaint general store and
residence, now classified as national historic sites.The area around the town also abounds with historical wealth:
the Drouin (1897) covered bridge built using the King Post method, and the Haseltine family sawmill, rebuilt in
1961 on the road to the picturesque village of Moe's River (1832). Roadside crosses, cemeteries, and the Baptist
(1867) and Anglican (1887) churches also speak of Anglophone and Francophone cohabitation and the rich
variety of architecture that resulted. Today, Compton is regarded as the apple capital, where you will delight in
the bounty of its soil: apple orchards, strawberries, raspberries, maple products, blueberries, grapes, blackcurrants,
and organic vegetables, as well as butter, cheesemakers, bakeries, vegetables, medicinal plants and organic herbs.

Cookshire-Eaton population 5,114 ? D-2
The town of Cookshire-Eaton is the result of merger of the Town of
Stéphane Lemire
Cookshire, the Municipality of Eaton, including Sawyerville. With a
population of 5,114, it is the largest municipality in the Haut-Saint-
François region with 298 km 2 of beautiful hamlets and criss-crossing
scenic roads.
Cookshire itself was founded by Loyalists in 1892, following the Abenakis
who had once set seasonal camps there. The town drew its name from
Captain John Cook, its first colonist who, in 1795, acquired hundreds of
hectares of land for agricultural purposes. The architecture of several
residences and particularly that of St. Peters Anglican Church demonstrate
a blend of American and Anglo-Saxon architecture. Converted into a
medical clinic, the former home of senator John Henry Pope, a pioneer
and the founder of Canadian Pacific, is a jewel in our heritage. Taking the
scenic route and the Loyalists' Circuit, towards East Angus, you'll find the
John Cook covered bridge, built on the former riverbed of the Eaton Compton County Historical
Museum Society
River. To the west is Johnville where you'll find the Notre-Dame-de-
la-Paix church and, a few kilometres from the village, the trails of the Parc écoforestier, where you can explore a
rare ecosystem with remarkable diversity. Route 253 towards Sawyerville passes through Eaton Corner, a
charming village recognized as the oldest town in the Townships. Agriculture and forestry dominate the local
economy. Several buildings are classified as historical monuments; note the church dating back to 1840-41 that
now houses the Musée de la Société d'histoire du comté de Compton and the former Eaton Academy. The area
is also home to a delightful and well-preserved home of classical architecture and with a notable enclosed balcony,
in which Canada's first operation under anesthetic took place. Still on the 253, you'll arrive in Sawyerville, a
picturesque Haut-Saint-François village. It was named for Josiah Sawyer, who left his home in Missisquoi Bay in
1792 to re-establish himself in the “Townships.” After seven years of hard work, this American trailblazer began
to see his work shaping the future of the Townships. Today, local entrepreneurs rely on the long-time mainstays
of sawmills and wood transformation. Two small churches – one Baptist, the other Anglican – are fellow
witnesses to the past. The nearby McDermott covered bridge, spanning the falls of the North Eaton River, is also
worth a visit. In the municipality one could also find the hamlets of Birchton, Bulwer and Sand Hill.

Courcelles population 1,016 E-1
The residents of Courcelles, less than two kilometres south
CLD de la MRC du Granit

of Route 108, take the environment, culture and heritage
to heart. In 1865, Pierre Morin built the first log dam
across the Bluets River to drive a flour- and sawmill. A
Québec Central railway station was built nearby in 1895,
bringing economic growth to the town and its mill. The
town itself stretched along both sides of the Bluets River.
In 1903 a church was built a distance from the town’s
main street, creating two central places around which
town life was focused. Restored in 2003, the Bernier Mill
has become a cultural and tourist centre that offers
exhibitions as well as educational and art programs. Outside,
a lookout provides a view of the dam, restored in 1998.

A city with 14 bridges, Cowansville is the largest municipality of the Brome-Missisquoi region and was originally
known as Nelsonville (1805-1875). Cowansville takes its name from Peter Cowan, a Scot and influential
businessman. The village incorporated in 1876 and became a town in 1931. In 1964, Cowansville annexed the
village of Sweetsburg. A deep Loyalist influence is reflected in several splendid buildings, including the opulent,
Victorian-style houses that border Principale and Du Sud Streets. One such building is the Bruck House (1875)
located at 225 Principale St. It received an honorary certificate from the Conseil des monuments et sites du
Québec in 2005 and currently houses a museum featuring a permanent collection that includes a painting by A.Y.
Jackson of the Group of Seven as well as several works by artists from the Beaver Hall Hill Group. This house was
originally the Eastern Townships Bank and the residence of William F. Vilas, a noted industrialist of his era – Vilas
furniture is still sought and highly valued overseas and across North America. On Bell Street, in the western part
of town, the Freeport covered bridge, built in an elaborate Town style, dates from 1870 and spans the Yamaska
River. On December 3, 1944, a large fire broke out on the main street and obliterated a good part of the business
district on both sides. A historical fresco created by visual artists now illustrates this lost sector of Principale Street.
A portion of the Yamaska River became Davignon Lake in 1965; it supplies the town with drinking water and
provides a nature centre and beach for residents and visitors alike. The new Nelsonville Park offers a magnificent
view of the river and of Nesbitt bridge, which was built in 1930. Once darkness falls, lights permit a view of the
remnants of the old flour mill built in 1837.

century. Magnificent Victorian houses and an Amercian-style town
square are dazzling reminders of that era. The birthplace of many
notable people, including Mack Sennett and Daniel Johnson, Danville
has close to 4,150 inhabitants, of which 10% are Anglophones. Its
principal tourist attractions include a segment of the cross-Canada

Dixville population 700 D-3
Just a few steps from the American border, on a promontory close to Cushing Falls, Dixville has always
benefited from a great location. That's what convinced Richard Baldwin Jr. to found this village in 1874,
calling it Drew's Mills, after the Drew family. An employee of the Grand Trunk rail shipping company and a
Barnston pioneer, Baldwin ultimately left his nickname – Uncle Dick – as inspiration for the name of the
municipality, which merged with Saint-Mathieu in 1995. Apart from remains of the sawmill and hydroelectric
dam, local residents appreciate the simplicity of their varied churches – the Baptist (formerly Methodist)
Church (1869), St. Paul's Church (1923), St. Cuthbert Anglican Church (1884), and the Saint-Matthieu (1920)
and Sainte-Suzanne-de-Stanhope (1914) Catholic churches.

Dudswell was initially made a township around the year 1865 by the family of John Bishop. Registered as a
municipality since 1895, it includes the towns of Bishopton (1912) and Marbleton (1895), the latter nominated
in 2001 by the Association des plus beaux villages du Québec (Quebec's Most Beautiful Towns Association). Both
lie within the hollow of a vast mountainous region. Mirror and Silver lakes and the Dudswell Forêt Habitée
walking trails (10 km) are the pride of local residents. The Maison de la Culture features a country-style boutique,
an art gallery and the Louis-Émile-Beauregard collection, an exhibit of 64 wood carvings illustrating scenes from
rural life in the 1920s through 1940s. From the Maison de la Culture, you can admire the stately Victorian and
vernacular architecture of local houses along a heritage circuit. The Dudswell economy has developed quickly,
thanks to its dynamic population and the Graymont Company – a highly regarded lime processor in operation
since 1824. Visitors can discover the many facets of limestone mining in Dudswell with a visit to the Maison de
Lime Ridge and the Jardins du mineur (lime interpretation centre).

Dunham population 3,312 ? A-3
Dunham was the first proclaimed Township in the area in 1796, and the first to be officially established in
Lower Canada. The Township municipality was set up in 1845, and the village municipality in 1867, which
amalgamated in 1971 to form the town of Dunham. The first settlers arrived in about 1820. Dunham took
its name in honour of Sir Thomas Dunn, born in England and one
Sébastien Larose
of the 35 concession-owners in the Township in 1796. The town
of Dunham is typical of the Loyalist era, with many brick and stone
houses bordering Rue Principale – some over 150 years old. Note
the presence of three churches: the neo-classical United Church
(1847), the Anglican All Saints Church (1849) with an amazing
facade and trim of cut stone, and the Sainte-Croix Catholic
Church (1875) with its wood siding, located at the peak of the
rise to the south. The birthplace of Quebec wine production,
Dunham invites you to the famed “Wine Route” to discover its
vineyards and vintners' skill. The grape harvest is also apple
season – Dunham's beauty includes orchards, cider-houses, sugar
shacks, berry farms, corn on the cob, and charming hobby farms.

Called “the Townships’ Fir Plantation” because of its rich coniferous forests, East Angus was founded in 1882
and named for William Angus, the proud Scottish industrialist who launched the village’s economic future by
building a pulp and paper factory and sawmill on the banks of the St. Francis River. Even today, the town’s
economic engine is fueled by the paper industry, particularly the Cascades plants. The recently restored Vieille
Gare du Papier houses two exhibits: one on the history of East Angus and the other on the history of paper
making. The Parc des Deux-Rivières, with its many trails spread over a 27-hectare area, features exceptional
flora and fauna and breath-taking landscapes. An 18-hole golf course offers a great round, while the town’s
inns, restaurants, and service industry enjoy a long-established reputation.

The history of the municipality of this village began on March 11, 1914 when William Elwin Hall, representing
East Farnham Township, tabled a petition to the council of mayors requesting that a portion of Farnham
Township be officially recognized as a village. On August 27, 1914, the request and report were approved
without amendments, thus creating the “Municipality of the village of the east part of Farnham Township.”
A small parcel was merged with the Town of Cowansville in 1990. Its residents are known as East Farnhamians.

Savonnerie des Diligences (soap factory) Colourful challenges
The municipalities of Stukely and Eastman merged on May 30, 2001, becoming simply Eastman.
Officially recognized in 1888, this town bore the names of both Bolton Forest (1865) and Dingman's Flats
(1868) before taking Eastman in honour of a pioneer in Bolton Township, John Eastman. The town's creation
took place during the prosperous copper mining era of the 1850s, but with the closing of the mines in 1880,
it was the wood industry – under the aegis of the Eastman Lumber Company – that took up the slack and
ensured the town's survival. Today, the municipality is a multiple winner of the Villes, Villages et Campagnes
Fleuris (Flowered Cities, Towns and Countryside) award, and attracts attention for its recreation and tourist
activities. As well as a renowned health centre and resort and the Théâtre de la Marjolaine summer theatre,
it also hosts the Correspondances d’Eastman, a unique letter-writing festival in early August and a prominent
antique show in October.

Farnham population 7,969 A-3
History reveals that Jos Higgins, originally from the United States, first settled the area in 1805. The first
Farnhamians, some being Loyalists, arrived in 1800. In the two centuries that followed, a number of people settled
along the Yamaska River. In 1825, the site of Farnham-Ouest (today Farnham) had only three round log houses.
It became a new municipality following its merger with Rainville in March 2000 and attracts visitors interested
in its Loyalist era buildings and the Saint-Romuald Church, containing 34 works by noted Canadian painter Ozias
Leduc. Older buildings have been preserved, and nowadays Farnham is an industrial and commercial centre active

Amalgamated with a number of small villages and townships in 1985, Frelighsburg is a small town hidden
at the foot of Pinnacle Mountain. The original Frelighsburg dates back to 1845 and included the Protestant
parish of Saint Armand East. The village takes its name from Dr. Abram Freligh, originally from Clinton in
Dutchess County, New York. The architectural quality of certain buildings in the village is remarkable: the old
Freligh mill, built in 1839 by one of Abram Freligh's sons, the general store (which offers maple syrup pie),
and the Catholic and Anglican churches that loom in the headlands (1883), as well as the Grammar School
(1856), town hall (1856), the rectory (1887), the convent (1914) and the Landsberg Store (1879), which later
housed the oldest insurance company in Canada. In the 1870s, the village already had 300 citizens and
nearly 50 houses, the majority built from wood. Visitors can still admire some of them, recognizable by their
Loyalist-influenced two-slope roofs. Adélard Godbout, Quebec Premier in 1936 and from 1939 to 1944, lived
and was buried here. Apple orchards continue to figure prominently in the local economy. Craftspeople and
artists are numerous, and produce high-quality works. One notable celebration is Festiv'Art, which is held the
Saturday and Sunday of Labour Day weekend. This visual arts festival turns the streets of the town into an
immense open gallery. Frelighsburg residents are proud of their heritage-laden hometown, considered one
of the most beautiful in Quebec.

Frontenac population 1,671 E-2
The discovery of fluted spear points typical of the late
Brian Morel
Paleoindian period thrust Frontenac to the forefront
of Quebec archaeology with the confirmation that
native hunters from the American west were in the
region at the end of the last glacial period, 10,000
years ago. Frontenac's more recent history is also
notable, including the passage on October 19, 1775
of the American general Benedict Arnold and some of
his troops on their way to attack Quebec City. The
later arrival of Scottish settlers shaped the cultural
landscape. The Anglican church of St. John, built in
1889 on the 4th range road, as well as the adjoining
View of Lac aux Araignées
cemetery of the same era, are witnesses to their
passage. Years later, French Canadians joined these early settlers. Frontenac's territory, 222 kilometres square,
includes the town of Lac-Mégantic to the south and borders the state of Maine to the east. As well as enjoying
several kilometres of lakefront on Lake Mégantic to the west, Frontenac residents enjoy an exceptional body of
water, Spider (Araignées) Lake, to their south and a magnificent golf course facing the Hautes-Appalaches
observation tower thoughtfully placed where visitors can admire the view. Frontenac's economy is largely based
on forestry and tourism, and it shares with two other municipalities the Joncs lake marsh, one of the largest of
its kind south of the Saint Lawrence River. It is the only municipality with access to hunting and fishing in the

is just one of many. The City of Granby is also proud of its Festival international de la chanson, an annual
competition celebrating new French-language music, its Centre d’interprétation de la nature du lac Boivin (nature
interpretation centre), its many paved cycling trails which are part of the vast cycling network in Southern
Quebec, its ice ring at Lac Boivin in winter, its 40 city parks, including Parc Daniel-Jonhson, a meeting place that
also serves as the site of annual summer firework displays during the Saint-Jean celebrations, and an antique car
exhibit. Granby is also rich in history, told not only through its built heritage, but also its ancient natural setting.
In fact, the City of Granby recently acquired an expanse of valuable green space referred to as the Miner lands,
named after one of the city’s founding families. This natural site will now be preserved for eternity.
The City of Granby was officially founded in 1859 when the village that had been created next to the Yamaska
River – where both English and French cultures co-existed – separated from its township of origin. The municipal
merger of January 2007 regrouped the original territory and at the same time, Granby became a new city of

L’Épopée de Capelton (copper mine) Montjoye ski centre

“The tract of land lying within the district of Montreal, bounded by Ascot, east by Compton, south by
Barnston and Stanstead, and west by Magog, Little Magog lake and the river by that name. Containing 348
lots, it was erected into a township named Hatley, and in part granted March 25th, 1803, to HENRY CULL,
and EBENEZER HOVEY and their associates (…)” C. M. Day, History of the Eastern Townships (1869).
Following the opening of the townships by the 1792 Proclamation of the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec:
“to such as are desirous to settle on the lands of the Crown in the Province of Lower Canada,” Col. Henry
Cull and Ebenezer Hovey petitioned for a grant of land which was officially awarded in 1803 in the new
Township of Hatley (named after a village in England). The Township was naturally divided from the north to
south by Lake Massawippi. The subdivision of the lots was made in 1795 by James Rankin.
Long before this date, the good quality of the land was discovered by early settlers who spread the word to
families in the neighbouring states such as New Hampshire and Vermont. Settlers began to arrive and settle.
It is well known that the first inhabitants near Lake Massawippi were the Algonquin. In her book The Story
of Hatley, Maude Pellerin speaks of the Indians as being friendly with their white neighbours, as there were
no records of raids against the white people, as occurred in other localities.
The villages in the original Township of Hatley were the Municipality of the Township of Hatley, the Village
of North Hatley (1897), Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley (1901), Ayer's Cliff (1909), and Hatley (1912). The
Municipality of the Township of Hatley expanded to the north following the annexing, in 1997, of a part of
Ascot. The main attractions in the Municipality of the Township of Hatley are Lake Massawippi, the Montjoye
ski resort and the Capelton mines.

A peaceful Brome Lake
Created in 1971 following the merger of seven municipalities (Knowlton, West Brome, Foster, Fulford, Iron
Hill, Bondville and East Hill), Lac-Brome surrounds Brome Lake. The name refers to a village in Suffolk
County, England. Local residents have created a heritage circuit to guide visitors. The elegant Victorian village
of Knowlton, the largest in Lac-Brome, is famous for its Loyalist roots and splendid built heritage. It was
established upon the arrival of Colonel Paul Holland Knowlton, who came from Vermont and who built a
flourmill in 1836, a sawmill and a store. These establishments quickly became popular and prosperous,
transforming Knowlton into a small upper-class village by the end of the 19th century. By 1855, the village,
a regional centre for telegraph reception, had a post office and an inn and became the seat of Brome County
government. As early as 1867, vacationers were attracted to Knowlton, already described by the Canadian
Handbook Tourist Guide as an exceptional locale. In 1894, Knowlton inaugurated the first free rural public
library in Quebec, the Pettes Library. The splendid, opulent residences built around the lake attracted visitors.
Today, the quality and the originality of its restaurants and its gift, craft, and antique shops charm visitors.
The centre of the village features a waterfall, to the immense pleasure of those strolling in the calm, natural
surroundings of Coldbrook Park. Every autumn, a gastronomical event celebrates the world-famous Brome
Lake duck. At Christmas, businesses and residences alike are trimmed with fabulous decorations, creating a
vision of Christmas in a bygone era. Every year, on the first Saturday of December, young and young-at-heart
gather to watch the traditional Santa Claus Parade where none other than Saint Nick himself doles out
candies and smiles to visitors! The village of Foster, located close to the Eastern Townships Autoroute, is

stations found along the Canadian Pacific railway at the end
of the 19th century. Built on the banks of the Yamaska River
close to Highway 10, the small hamlet of Fulford emerged in
1858 with the construction of a large tannery. In 1881, the
economic activity of the village was reinforced with the
opening of a sawmill. Two Protestant churches serve the
community. Loyalists colonized the village of West Brome very
early on. McCurdy Street features a variety of older homes
found in the shadow cast by the spire of the Ascension Church
(1885). Not to be missed is a stop by the Edwards General
Store for a step back to yesteryear. On the other side of Route

barns preserved in the Eastern Townships.

The regional capital of the eastern section of the Townships, the town of Lac-Mégantic was created in
1907 – long after Malcolm Matheson, a businessman from Lewis Island in England, built his house and
opened his store in 1877. Its constitution dates back to the merger of two towns: the village of Mégantic,
which was founded in 1885 by two French Canadians, Télesphore Lemay and Antoine Roy; and the village
of Agnes, which was dubbed by Scottish colonists in honour of Sir John A. Macdonald's wife, who
accompanied the first prime minister of Canada and minister John Henry Pope to inaugurate the last section
of the International Railway. Twinned with the Quebec Central in 1889, this railway supported Lac-
Mégantic's rapid expansion into a ”railway capital.” Your awe will extend far beyond the railway station
(a jewel of the past in its own right) into the entire town – a land traveled by Native nations more than

downtown core will interest architecture enthusiasts: Sainte-Agnès Church (1913), a Catholic temple in the
neo-gothic style, featuring a splendid London stained glass behind the main altar; Saint-Barnabas Church
(1892), in neo-Queen-Anne style; the Presbyterian Chapel (1890); and Notre-Dame-de-Fatima Church
(1948). Located in the town hall, the Namesokanjik museum houses a collection of different artifacts that will
fascinate history lovers. Bordering Lake Megantic, the second largest in the region, Lac-Mégantic is a tourist
destination beyond compare thanks to its many lodging facilities and activities. Throughout the year, two
Quebec national parks – Frontenac and Mount Megantic – and the Complexe Baie-des-Sables (recreo-
tourism centre) offer a number of possibilities to outdoor enthusiasts. Activities include hiking, biking,
horseback riding, mountain biking, canoeing, camping, fishing, swimming, water sports and, in winter, cross-
country skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing and tube sliding. The golf course is another attraction. Close
to the marina, downtown, is the tree-lined Veterans
Park. Snowmobile fans can take advantage of
a multitude of groomed trails with snow in
abundance. Mégantic's citizens have the added
advantage of a thriving economy, thanks to the
woodworking industry. Experience a unique outing
aboard the Coudrier Mégantic, the only cruise ship
that lets you admire the beautiful mountains
surrounding Lake Megantic.

Municipality of Lambton

Parc national de Frontenac (Quebec National Park), Lambton St. Vital Church, Lambton
The Township of Lambton was declared a municipality on April 22, 1847. Alexis Poulin, a resident of
Beauceville, discovered the picturesque site in 1837 while hunting. Poulin traveled all the way to Lake
St-François, marking his route along the way. At the end of the 1830s, British colonists, drawn by nearby lakes
St-François and Lambton, established the municipality there. These founders named it in honour of an English
Earl, John George Lambton, Lord of Durham and Governor General of Canada in 1838. The English and
French-Canadian colonists lived side-by-side, until the English realized the land was not as profitable as they
had hoped, after which the area became predominantly Francophone. Its first church, built in 1873-74, was
destroyed by fire on August 22, 1905 – a fire that also claimed the rectory, convent and 32 homes in the
village. The current church, built in 1905-07 with the grandeur of a cathedral, and the rectory sit proudly in
the centre of the village. Both buildings have been declared heritage sites by the municipality. Lambton's
prosperity springs from agriculture, raw materials and processing, and tourism.

Lawrenceville population 664 B-2
Lawrenceville was colonized by Isaac Lawrence, originally from the village of Canaan in Connecticut, who
moved to this Township with his family in 1794. His son Erastus built both a sawmill and flourmill on an
island – Île du Moulin (Mill Island) – that is now a treasured heritage site with mere traces of the mills. Two
historic residences have survived: the Victorian-style Island Park House and another more modest home with
a two-sloped roof. These homes reflect the communal spirit of the two founding Lawrenceville cultures, who
chose the town's name in honour of its founding family.
Lingwick (Township) population 422 D-2
Between Sherbrooke and Lac-Mégantic, Lingwick Township includes the villages of Sainte-Marguerite and
Gould. Rich with agricultural land and forests and boasting a great spot for mill construction at the junction
of the Salmon River and Moffat Stream, Gould became this Township's county seat in 1855. The first village
of the Gaelic Townships, this is where the semi-Irish and semi-Scottish founding families of Cowan and
Hanright chose to live. In 1893, they marked their presence by building the McVetty-McKerry covered

Magog population 23,540 ( C-3
Sébastien Larose
Vignoble Le Cep d’Argent (vineyard) Les Amis de la Rivière-aux-Cerises (LAMRAC)
Located at the northern end of Lake Memphremagog, this hamlet flourished in the 19th century thanks to
the contruction of flour, saw and card mills by Ralph Merry III, the founder of Magog. Arriving in the region
around 1797, he constructed the first dam on the north side of the river, between an island and a stream,
where the railway now lies. A born innovator, he created the Magog Manufacturing Company, locating it near
the bridge linking the two parts of the road that have since borne his name. The town's original name was
“Outlet,” as it is located where the lake drains. For the same reason, the parish of Saint-Patrice-de-Magog,
founded in 1861, carried the name Saint-Patrice-d'Outlet at the time. Outlet was the official name for many
decades, although Magog started appearing on official documents in 1783. The basis of Outlet's economy
was log cutting and driving. Some small businesses complementing the local economy developed, but
remained marginal. The opening in 1835 of a stagecoach inn on the Montréal-Sherbrooke corridor eased
access to Magog and, around 1840, a large number of Irish Catholic immigrants settled on the eastern shore
of the lake. This first half of the 19th century saw the arrival of the municipality's resort industry (hotels,

sailing). In 1850, Outlet became Magog,
Bing Bang Vision
which was officially incorporated on January

28, 1888 as a village, and in 1890 as a town.
Hydraulic and hydroelectric power have been
its empowering force through its history. The
economic weight and influence of the textile
industry marked the end of the 19th century.
The first factory was the Magog Cotton and
Print Company, founded in 1884 by the son-
in-law of Ralph Merry, A.H. Moore. The
company was sold in 1899 to Dominion
Cotton Mills, and repurchased in 1905 by
Dominion Textile. Today, it is part of C.S.
Brooks Canada. Post-war Magog saw an era
of expansion and modernization that drew
Savonnerie Olivier Magog (soap factory) even more businesses. The improvement of
the road system allowed the development of
a four-season tourist trade that continues to flourish. Magog became a city in autumn 2002 when it merged
with Magog Township, which covers a large area divided into three districts by two shores of Lake
Memphremagog and the Town of Omerville, formerly a parish attached to Magog. The merger increased the
municipality's population to 23,540 residents. In a historical context, this merger appealed to a strong sense
of mutual ownership based on over 200 years of sharing and developing a common land. With Lake
Memphremagog in the background, surrounded by mountains that stretch over 44.5 km clear to the Vermont
border, it's easy to understand why Magog is called the “treasure chest of the Townships.” Throughout the
year, Magog is alive with sports, cultural events and a wide variety of activities, including the Traversée
Internationale du Lac Memphrémagog swimming event, the Memphrémagog Arts Circuit in the summer, and
the Magog-Orford Grape Harvest Festival. In the summer, you can enjoy water sports, swimming, golf,
horseback riding, tennis, cycling and in-line skating. While you're having fun in the water, keep an eye out
for Memphré, a legendary lake creature that has been making waves for over 200 years. Memphré has been
seen over 225 times, with sightings dating back to 1798. A boat cruise will let you appreciate the lake's true
size. You may also be enticed by a stroll through the Baie-de-Magog park, a bike path that connects the city
to Orford Township, a walk along the trails of the Rivière-aux-Cerises marsh or through downtown Magog.
In winter, outdoor enthusiasts are thrilled with an array of snow-sports (nearby downhill skiing and cross-
country skiing), skating on the ice path that borders Lake Memphremagog, and many snowmobile trails. The
Vieux Clocher de Magog, boutiques and art galleries, cafés, terraces and restaurants are here to help you
make the most of your holiday.

Mansonville (Potton Township) population 1,767 ? B-3
The municipality of Potton Township, created in 1855, contains the hamlets of Highwater (1927), Dunkin
(1796), Knowlton Landing (1821), Vale Perkins (1873) and Mansonville (1811); the latter was the
Township's main locale, named for founder Robert Manson. Bordered by Lake Memphremagog, it is well
situated among the mountains Owl's Head, Sugar Loaf, Pevee and Hawks. Its name springs from a town in
Bedfordshire, England. The arrival in the area of British army officer Henry Ruiter began the area's
colonization. Vale Perkins was named for its builder, Samuel Perkins, and features a large flat rock on which
one can find petroglyphs (writings engraved in the stone) that seem to draw from Ogham, an ancient Celtic
script. Several petroglyphs and cairns or stone mounds can be found in the area, some from up to 2000 years

ago. In the 19th century, Highwater, located at the junction of two arms of the Missisquoi River, served mainly
as a railway stop for the Southeastern Railway from Montreal to Boston. Another railroad crossed Potton,
with a station built at Mansonville for Orford Mountain railway trains and, later, those of Canadian Pacific.
Potton Township distinguishes itself both by its cultural and religious diversity – over 20 nationalities have
contributed to its population, a fact celebrated every summer since 1992 with the Multicultural Festival,
starting on the second Saturday in August. The Arts Tour and Circuit also offer tourists an opportunity to visit
local artists' workshops. Another area worth seeing – between Knowlton Landing and Vale Perkins – is
Voroktha, where you'll find the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Ukranian Catholic Church. Not far away, via Aéroport and
Monastère Roads, is the charming Russian Orthodox Church monastery with its onion-bulb roof like those at
the Kremlin. Be sure to note its cemetery with Cryllic inscriptions on the headstones (please be respectful of
the site since it is not a tourist attraction and belongs to a private community). In Mansonville, at the end of
Bellevue Road, is the Province Hill covered bridge, built in the Town style in 1896. On Province Hill Road is
an ancient cemetery. On Principale Street, you can find the Reilly House community centre; St. Paul's Anglican
Church (1902), the United Church (1893) a Baptist church (1900), and Saint-Cajetan Catholic Church (1950)
are also of interest.

Maricourt population 443 C-2
There are three possible explanations for Maricourt's name, made official in 1961. The one preferred by
residents hearkens back to the Sieur de Maricourt, the brother of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville (1661-1706)
who received command over Hudson's Bay from the Governor General of New France, Louis de Frontenac,
in 1690. Given the Irish origin of the town's builders, it could also refer to a village in Cambridgeshire,
England. It could also conceivably refer to Charles Loftus, first Marquis of Ely and Canada's Postmaster
General from 1789 to 1806. This is because the municipality once carried the name of Ste-Mary-d'Ely, a
village in the township of Ely-Partie-Nord, in the territory of Valcourt and close to the Ulverton River. The
Sainte-Marie d'Ely church (1889) at the centre of the village evokes this 19th-century heritage.

Marston population 726 E-2
First set up as a township, Marston was surveyed in 1792 when Eastern Quebec was initially divided.
Remaining uninhabited until 1856, the township took its name from a village in Yorkshire, England. It rapidly
became a refuge for Loyalist immigrants, who established themselves in 1859 on the Drum-A-Vack road –
in Gaelic, 'on both sides of the hill.' After receiving free lots from the government, four Lingwick colonists
cleared an area in the township. In 1861, the census counted 100 inhabitants, but they had to wait until
1880 for a parish to be established. On Spring Hill Road, one can find the Echo Vale Cemetery, the final
resting place of the McLeod, Rory, Murdo and McIver pioneer families. Marston now enjoys a marina at Baie
Victoria. In 2008, a new summer theatre opened its doors in the former Marston church.
Martinville population 479 D-3
Martinville residents celebrated their centennial in 1996 by inaugurating Parc du Vieux Moulin. Located close to the
dam that once powered the flourmill and sawmill of yesteryear, the park commemorates the town’s founding
pioneer, a Loyalist named Martin. The landscape features an artificial pond that welcomes birds (Canada geese)
every autumn. The local economy centres around natural resources (gravel pits, wood, plantations), dairy, pork and
beef farming, a machine shop, a hazelnut necklace manufacturer, and an organic fruit and vegetable distributor.

The farmer’s market in Melbourne
The general allure of Melbourne Township, with its 19th-century brick houses sporting slate roofs and an
American vernacular style, betrays the origin of its first pioneers. Arriving around 1799, they established the
parish in 1855 and founded the village of Melbourne, the name of an English town in both Derbyshire and
Hampshire, in 1860. Arriving from New England, where they had felt the sting of the Irish Famine, they came
to take their chances in this territory because land was still available, accessible, and fertile. They opened their
first school in 1820 and built the Congregationalist St. Andrew's Church – now a historic monument admired
by all. The church was featured in an illustration on every Canadian two-dollar bill printed from 1954 to
1975. The Melbourne Ridge United Church (1858) and the Richmond County Historical Society Museum are
also worth a visit. You might find works by portraitist Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871-1960), one of
Canada's most celebrated artists and an Upper Melbourne native.

Milan population 322 E-2
Milan made its name as a railway stop – a loading point for freshly sawn wood. The construction of a new
rail line between Scotstown and Cookshire, at the junction of the three townships of Hampden, Whitton and
Marston, accelerated its growth in 1877. The Gisla cemetery, set back behind the village, is the final resting
place of the legendary outlaw Donald Morrison. Morrison was known as the Megantic Outlaw – and it was
on the main street in Megantic that he fatally shot Constable Jack Warren, sent to arrest him for arson and
attempted murder. Residents are proud of their local businesses, amongst them the Meunerie Milanaise and
Maison Usinex.
Nantes population 1,471 E-2
Between Stornoway and Lac-Mégantic where the road once crossed the railway, you'll find the municipality of
Nantes, also known as Spring Hill. Around 1856, Scottish colonists McRae, Murdo and Murray set up their
makeshift camp on this site. Known by the Gaelic name Drum-A-Vack, these camps formed the base of a colony
bolstered by French-Canadian families in 1905. A railway station and post office were added in 1879 and in
1898, two sawmills, two telegraph stations and two general stores became part of the town. Nantes benefits
from Lakes Whitton, McKenzie and Orignal – all close by and strikingly clean and clear. The citizens of Nantes
are proud of their Christmas tree farms, most of which supply American homes with their annual traditions.
Newport (Municipality) population 826 D-2
The Municipality of the Township of Newport was founded in 1801. In spite of strong opposition, it merged with
Cookshire-Eaton on January 1, 2003 but regained its autonomy on January 1, 2006. However, the Quebec
department of municipal affairs and regions categorically refused to allow it to use the term “township” in its
name so it became the Municipality of Newport. The sectors that make up the municipality include Island Brook,
Lawrence, Randboro and Saint-Mathias-de-Bonneterre. The St. Lawrence Anglican Church, built in 1940, reminds
us of the colonial period. Residents mainly work in the fields of agriculture and forestry. Some people work in
neighbouring villages.

immigrants Henry Cull and Ebenezer Hovey from the United States in 1793, Japhet Le Baron settled on this
picturesque site. Originally, colonists lived on agriculture, wood harvesting, and the production of potash,
which was sold to soap manufacturers. But the charm of the place made it attractive to rich American tourists,
and in 1880, the construction of a rail line consolidated its reputation as a resort destination. Thanks to its
growing fame, it received over 2000 visitors at the beginning of the 20th century, lodged in six hotels and
250 villas. Over the years, luxurious and century-old residences have been converted into charming hotels,
bed and breakfasts and artists' studios. Other buildings have become art galleries, shops, cafés and
restaurants, all of which illustrate the welcoming quality that makes this village a choice vacation spot and
residence for prominent people from around the world. Since 1982, at the end of each spring, the Festival
du Lac Massawippi has offered music lovers varied recitals in Sainte-Elizabeth Church (1913), in addition to
open-air concerts every Sunday through the summer in Dreamland Park. The St. Barnabas Anglican Church
(1894), the Unitarian Universalist Church (1895) and the former Baptist – now United – Church (1908) are
all well worth a visit. The presence of the lake gives the village a natural amphitheatre shape, which has been
protected by a 1986 declaration designating part of the village an official heritage site.

Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge population 742 A-3
In 1801, Stanbridge Township became the property of James McGill, a Montreal merchant and founder of
McGill University. Upon his death, the Township, 31,000 acres in size, was left to his inheritors, the
DesRivières family. Its growth really began in 1840, when François-Guillaume and Henri DesRivières settled
there – their first task being the construction of Malmaison Manor in 1841. In 1842, they built a dam on the
river; in 1843 the dam powered two mills and the first covered bridge was built. The wood industry elevated
the region's prosperity, and the government of Lower Canada planned and built the Grande-Ligne Road. The
community's growth was substantial. In 1848, the municipality of Notre-Dame-des-Anges-de-Stanbridge
was formed, and Henri DesRivières was named its first mayor and the first prefect of the incorporated
Missisquoi County.
Notre-Dame-des-Bois population 985 E-2
Notre-Dame des Bois is one of the highest villages in terms of altitude in Quebec. Its waterways flow east into the
Arnold River and west into the Salmon River. The first settlers were gold prospectors who were quickly replaced by
French-Canadian colonists, many of whom had emigrated to the United States. A few arrived from France and
Belgium. In 1871, François-Xavier Dufresne arrived, clear-cut three acres of land on lot no. 16 of the sixth range
and established a blacksmith shop on lot no. 15. Considered the village’s founder, P. U. Vaillant built the first

Ogden population 762 C-3
Incorporated in 1932, this municipality drew its name from British immigrant Isaac Ogden, a Loyalist who
obtained much of the eastern portion of Stanstead Township in 1798. Touching the American border to the
south and partly stretched along Lake Memphremagog, this Township has grown through a series of
amalgamations with communities such as Graniteville, Tomifobia and Griffin. Graniteville boasts the largest
granite quarry in Canada. Extracted here since 1885, its granite covers some important buildings across
Canada, such as the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac abbey on Lake Memphremagog and the Sun Life building in
Montreal. In town, you'll also find the United Church (1896) with its granite foundations, ledge supports, and
a wooden roof with pointed vaults. Formerly called Smith's Mills, Tomifobia contains a number of mills
connected to local foresting operations. Travelling Route 247 from north to south, you'll pass through two
tree tunnels – one at Griffin and the other at Applegrove, close to the covered bridge (1881) at the Fitch

The municipality of Orford Township – created in 1855 – is named after a village in Suffolk County,
England. While the name can still be found as Oxford on some maps, Orford was established in 1831 to
identify the lake, the municipality and the mountain. For a long time, the area remained relatively
unoccupied, because its mountainous geography was unsuitable for cultivation. Today, residents will tell
you they've adapted to the rhythm of the mountain, the lake, the winds and the seasons. The immediate

The municipality was named Richmond in honour of the Governor General of the colony, Charles Lennox, the
fourth Duke of Richmond. A first contingent of colonists from New England and the Richelieu Valley settled
along the St. Francis River at the turn of the 19th century. The economy gained steam with the arrival of the
St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway (1852), Quebec and Richmond Railway (1854), Grand Trunk Railway
(1921) and finally Canadian National (1923) – but the economic crisis of the 1930s prompted the closure of
several rail lines. That slack was taken up by the industrial sector, and the people of Richmond began working
in textile, shoe and rubber plants. Among the most prestigious older buildings is the former railway station
(1883), the Richmond Arts Centre located in the former St. Patrick Convent (1884), and the Sainte-Bibiane
Roman Catholic Church (1880). Saint-Paul's French Presbyterian church, home to the Slate Interpretation Centre,
and the Melbourne Cemetery are also quite interesting. The historically English section of town contains no
less than 36 heritage buildings, including St. Anne's Church (1884) and Chalmers United Church (1888).

Saint-Armand came into being in 1999 as a result of the merger of St-Armand and Philipsburg. Located
northeast of Lake Champlain bordering Missisquoi Bay, the hamlet of Philipsburg is the oldest populated site
in the region (1784). In 1788, George Titemore, from the State of New York, settled in the area. Pigeon Hill
was first known as Sagerfield, but was renamed due to the impressive number of pigeons found there. Dutch-
American families from Duchess County in New York State populated this area. Officially formed in 1855,
attestations date back to 1834 under the name of Saint Armand West. Local residents enjoy their charming

the French of Bretagne and Vendée established themselves in Woburn Township, at the centre of the Channay
colony. On the recommendation of Bishop Antoine Racine of the Sherbrooke Diocese and president of the
Société de Colonisation de la Cité de Sherbrooke, they built a mission and parish, which was christened in

1898 with its current name to honour both a patron saint and a benefactor, Lady Augustine Duval. Located
south of Lake Megantic and east of Notre-Dame-des-Bois, the municipality is one of the entry points to the
United States. It was established in a wooded area at the foot of Mount Gosford, an 1,193-metre peak which
adds to the town's unique character. As well as working at three sawmills and an ultra-modern wood
processing plant, residents of Woburn enjoy zec Louise-Gosford and the Forêt Habitée du Mont Gosford.
Saint-Benoît-du-Lac population 53 C-3
Saint-Benoît-du-Lac is one of the smallest municipalities in Quebec. Formed in 1939, it is run by monks who
follow a contemplative life focused on prayer and work.
See page 23 for a complete description of the St-Benoît-du-Lac Abbey.
Saint-Camille population 450 D-1
Sylvain Laroche
A colorful village
Saint-Camille, founded in 1848, was one of the first French-speaking villages in the Townships. At the heart
of the village, apart from the post office established in 1864, are buildings going back to 1875 such as the
loggia-style convenience store, the church, and its rectory. Saint-Antoine Chapel is also worth a visit. The
small municipality has annexed part of Dudswell, including Lake Watopeka – a place of rare beauty, teeming
with migratory birds. Recognized for their agricultural economy, numerous cooperatives and community
activities, local residents know how to make the most of their innovative spirit. In tribute to Quebec singer
Félix Leclerc, the P'tit Bonheur community and cultural centre encapsulates the spirit of rural life through a
variety of activities.

Saint-Claude population 1,129 C-1
Mainly French-Canadian colonists began arriving here after 1880. Due to the richness of the local soil, they
named the area Greenshields after a notable Danville resident. In 1891, a parish was founded. It was named
Saint-Claude after Reverend Claude, who in the 17th century lived in the monastery of St. Eugendus in Jura
and was mistakenly thought to be the Bishop of Besançon. After the school, chapel and rectory burnt down
in 1902, the residents built a new Roman-style church from stone. Of interest: this town has a herd of bison.
Saint-Denis-de-Brompton population 3,155 C-2
This pretty little town, located close to Sherbrooke and directly accessed via Highway 55 (J.-A. Bombardier)
offers an enchanting country landscape. The name of the town, founded in 1888, refers to its first French
Canadian and Catholic settler, François-Xavier Morin. During the migration period, visitors can observe the
great snow goose as well as other aquatic birds on Petit Lac St-François. The town is flanked by the
shimmering St-Francois River and is ideal for its quality of life, warm townspeople, and its commitment to
sustainable development.
Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton population 521 B-3
Created in 1939, Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton is the evolution of a parish founded in 1851 and canonically
established in 1872. At the time, it had about 100 Catholic residents. Its name pays homage to its first parish
priest, Étienne-Hippolyte Hicks, who resided there from 1823 to 1889. The Bolton part of the name comes
from the township of the same name established in 1797. The first residents arrived from the Richelieu Valley,
and settled in the region around 1820.
Saint-François-Xavier-de-Brompton population 2,062 C-2

Saint-Georges-de-Windsor population 936 C-1
Saint-Georges-de-Windsor was founded in 1861 and is a small rural community located between Asbestos
and Sherbrooke. Characterized by its hilly countryside, the region is worth visiting. On Route 249, between
Saint-Georges and Windsor, you will find a panoramic lookout in the shape of a cow. On a clear day, you can
see seven church steeples from it. The Catholic Church, built in 1870, is the only one in Quebec to have a statue
of each of the 12 Apostles. Saint-Georges residents pride themselves on the quality of their cheese. Nothing
beats the taste of the “petit lait” cheese at the family-run Proulx cheese factory, established in the early 1900s.

Visiting the Region
Saint-Herménégilde population 718 D-3
At the headwaters of Moe's River, on scenic Route 141 and at the foot of the 864-metre Mount Hereford
and the winding road that leads to its summit, Saint-Herménégilde boasts three lakes. Attracting Loyalist
land-clearers, later French Canadians and now vacationers, Lakes Wallace, Lippé and Des Français bring
recognition to the mission, established in 1856, with the parish created in 1872. Resulting from the division
of a Township in 1903, the municipality draws its name from Prince Herménégilde, who Léovigild (the King
of the Visgoths and Herménégilde's father) persecuted around the year 586 for his Catholic faith. The town's
106-year-old neo-Gothic church is worth a visit.
Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge population 674 A-3
Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge saw its first
Yves Laframboise
colonists around 1810 – among them, Simon
and Peter Stone, giving the area its original
name of Stone Settlement. With a Catholic
presence beginning in 1873, the mission
became the parish of Saint-Ignace three years
later, but wasn't made an official municipality
until 1889. It draws its name from Saint Ignace
of Antioch, a bishop and martyr of the first
century. The Stanbridge part of the name
emphasized its inclusion in the township of the
same name in 1801, as well as recalling an
English town in Bedfordshire. Residents are
particularly proud of the charming hamlet of Twelve-sided barn in Mystic
Mystic located nearby. In the 19th century, Mystic was the centre of much industrial activity, due to the
construction of a foundry and metalworking shop in 1864 by the son of Salomon Walbridge, a native of
Cambridge, Vermont. In 1868, a dam built across the Walbridge Stream enhanced the operation. In 1882,
the Walbridge family built a spectacular home and an imposing red 12-sided barn – the latter being the
principal remaining vestige of the Walbridges' mark on the area.
Saint-Isidore-de-Clifton population 840 D-3
Thanks to American pioneers, Clifton was first

Stéphane Lemire
colonized in 1798. A relic of this settlement, the

small wooden East Clifton Church has looked
over the valley since it was built in 1835. The
development of Saint-Isidore d’Auckland in
1910 was the result of interest in its dense
forests on the part of a company from Toronto
looking to extract methanol. Since then, forestry,
maple sugaring and agriculture have constituted
the local economy. In 2001, residents adopted
an objective to become environmentally friendly,
emerging as an eco-village offering services
including the Marché de Solidarité (market
offering local produce), Camping Vert (an eco-
friendly campground), and a small farms project.

Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford population 1,179 B-2
Between 1840 and 1850, Saint-Joachim residents were mostly Irish and French Canadian settlers who came
to clear and live off the land. The two communities were at odds over the construction of a second Catholic
church in the village. Through an eventual agreement, the parish was founded in 1858 and the municipality
incorporated in 1884. It took the name Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford, indicating the township to which it
belongs. You'll find it on the scenic route, which leads north to Acton Vale. It provides many spectacular
views, including large numbers of white-tailed deer in spring.
Saint-Joseph-de-Ham-Sud population 243 D-1
Ham Sud is at the foot of the majestic Mount

Développement Mont Ham
Ham, 713 metres high with a 360-degree

panoramic view and 16 km of groomed hiking
trails. Founded by Loyalists in 1851 and made
official in 1881, the municipality is named
for a village in Essex County, England. At the
beginning of the 19th century, it was the main
town of Wolfe County – undoubtedly because
its Gosford Road connected Quebec to Boston.
From this prestigious past, Ham residents
have maintained some buildings including a
Gothic church.
Attraction and activities: Développement du
Mount Ham mont Ham-Sud (Mount Ham), see page 80
Saint-Ludger population 1,208 F-1
The first Beauce colonists arrived in 1883, establishing at Saint-Ludger, and the first general meeting of the
Town Council of Risborough, part of Marlow, was held on June 4, 1900. The first Town Council meeting
for Southeast Gayhurst and part of Saint-Ludger Village was held on December 12, 1904. Saint-Ludger
separated from Gayhurst in 1921. Its name was chosen to evoke memories of François-Amable-Ludger, who
drowned in 1876, and Bishop Ludger Têtu, a friend of the area's first missionary. The inside of the church,
built in 1901 and enlarged in 1911, has its own special atmosphere. In a neo-Gothic style, it calls attention
to some magnificent gilt-work and decorative sculptures, as well as its transepts – the transverse galleries
that separate the choir from the nave, forming the arms of a cross. The past is commemorated through the
original sawmill on Du Moulin Road, the former general store that now houses an agricultural co-op, and
three roadside crosses scattered amongst the back roads. Agriculture, the maple industry and forestry ensure
a strong local economy.
Saint-Malo population 540 D-3
Saint-Malo is the highest municipality in Quebec. At 585 metres, local residents live in an environment of
forests, farms, and waterways that supply their livelihood. Every September, they revive the traditions of their
ancestors with a Harvest Festival that includes a “country” mass. The parish of Saint-Malo was established
in 1863 by French Canadians and incorporated as a municipality in 1910. The town's name evokes the Welsh
monk Malo, missionary bishop of Brittany, and refers to the homeland of Jacques Cartier, explorer of the
New World. Visitors must see La Montagnaise, a 10-metre observation tower built in 1995 that lets all
admire the countryside from an incredible vantage point.

Saint-Pierre-de-Véronne-à-Pike-River population 601 A-3
Established in 1912, the munici-

MRC Brome-Missisquoi
pality of Pike River is mainly known

for its agricultural community and
dairy farms, as well as a high
number of Swiss, Belgian and Polish
immigrants. Running through town,
the Pike River complements three
impressive institutional buildings:
the church (1907), whose structure
and striking colour marks the
countryside; the former school
(1923) that is now home to the
town hall, and the rectory. The
town's name springs from an Italian
friar, Pierre of Verona (circa 1205-
1252). Pike River is known in French
Pike River’s Catholic Church and presbytery
as the Rivière aux Brochets.
Saint-Robert-Bellarmin population 708 F-1
The municipality of Saint-Robert-Bellarmin, so named in 1949, was previously known as Sainte-Rufine. It

was originally a mission built in 1907 by Beauce colonists. In memory of the Italian bishop Robert
Bellarmino, the Lachance and Tanguay families founded a parish following the detachment of range roads
10 and 11 from Saint-Ludger and the Saint-Gédéon main road. The landscape around this region reaches
its peak in October, when the sugar bushes (more than 700,000 maple trees tapped) located on land
belonging to the Ministry of Natural Resources and on private properties, take on their brilliant fall colours.
Local residents take full advantage of their vast hunting territory and bodies of water: the Étang-Du-Loup
pond and Lac Émilie.
Saint-Romain population 717 E-1
This is one of the oldest municipalities in the region after Lambton, its neighbour to the north. People from
the Beauce and from seigneuries founded it in 1854 in the name of Pope Romain, who was Pope in 897 for
just three months. Until the 1960s, this parish took the name of Saint-Romain-de-Winslow, which evokes
images of the second wave of colonists, Scots from Buckinghamshire who arrived in the township. Declared
in 1879, it recalls Joshua Winslow, paymaster for the Canadian troops in 1790 and Receiver General of
Lower Canada in 1791. One of the notable attractions here is the Centre d'Interprétation des Tracteurs
Antiques – the only such antique tractor exhibit of its kind.
Saint-Sébastien population 793 E-1
According to archives, farmers from the Beauce originally populated Saint-Sébastien, founding the
municipality in 1855 and the parish in 1869. An agricultural zone, it spans territory that stretches across a
large plateau, bordered to the southeast by Mount Saint-Sébastien. At 500 metres, Saint-Sébastien is among
the highest towns in Quebec, and is both the provincial and national “granite capital”. Any doubts of this
will be cast away when you see the 1889 neo-classical church. The same applies to the cemetery, which
displays a number of impressive granite stones. Taking the scenic route to Lac-Mégantic is well worth the

effort. The hiking trails leading to Mount Saint-Sébastien are also worth the trip and the view from the top
will take your breath away! Local citizens take pride in their roots and preserved the Maison Royer, a modest
dwelling but one of the area's first buildings.
Saint-Venant-de-Paquette population 137 D-3
Saint-Venant is perched in the Appalachian
Stéphane Lemire
Mountains on its own stone balcony,
leaning towards New Hampshire and
the Hall River. Immigrants arriving from
the Richelieu Valley around 1862 chose
this enchanting site. The municipalities
of Saint-Venant-de-Paquette, Saint-
Herménégilde and East Hereford were
first known as the Municipality of
Hereford Township. It was in 1917, after
the departure of Saint-Herménégilde and
East Hereford, that Saint-Venant-de-
Paquette became the municipality of the
parish of Saint-Venant-de-Hereford and
then of Saint-Venant-de-Paquette, due to
the fact that the residents were served by
the parish of Saint-Venant-de-Hereford
and by the post office located in the
railway station of Paquetteville. The
church-museum (1877) has its original
varnished-wood interior intact its unique
architecture has earned the nickname The Saint-Venant-de-Paquette “sentier poétique” (poetry trail)
“Turret of the Townships.” The Caisse
Populaire (1907) was the first such financial institution set rurally in North America. You can now visit the
Maison de l'Arbre, the starting point of the Sentier Poétique, inaugurated in 1998 by the Friends of Heritage
(which includes renowned Quebec singer Richard Séguin) to celebrate our native poets.

Visiting the Region
Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle population 668 B-2
The municipality of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle developed thanks to the founding of the Sainte-Anne-

de-Stukely parish by Irish and Loyalist immigrant families in 1856 – the parish became Sainte-Anne-de-
la-Rochelle in 1951. Its name refers to a town in Poitou, France, where there is a large rocky outcrop. The
people of Sainte-Anne built a church around their similar rock hill, and dedicated it to Sainte-Anne, mother
of the Virgin Mary. Since 1896, every July, pilgrims from all over arrive to climb to the summit, where there
is a grotto, a church, a sanctuary and a roadside cross.
Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley population 2,363 C-3
Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley, previously known as
Alain Larouche
Katevale, was founded in 1901. From the square
facing the parish’s magnificent Catholic church
built in 1908, locals enjoy an exceptional view of
Mount Orford and Little Lake Magog. With the
construction of its chapel in 1868, the mission was
placed under the protection of St. Catherine of
Sienne, an Italian mystic (1347-1380). The
surname of Hatley recalls its presence in Hatley
Township, proclaimed in 1803. The municipality
was founded by Loyalists, and grew considerably
after an influx of Francophone settlers in 1860. In
1946, a fire ravaged a good portion of the village. Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley
Today, several painters, inspired by the area’s
landscapes and the beauty of the surroundings, maintain a strong and long-standing tradition of visual arts. Come
discover the Katevale Marsh, an ornithology centre with beautiful walking trails where everyone can enjoy the
view and be serenaded by the many species of birds – to date, more than 228 species have been spotted.
Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton population 2,061 B-2
Around 1825, British colonists established themselves at Milton Corner, but were soon replaced by a tide of
migrating French Canadians. Adventurous settlers arrived from neighbouring parishes, and in 1864 they
founded the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton, which became the first Catholic parish in the county
and assumed the name of the 1846 mission in Shefford County. Today, local economic life is based on large-
scale agriculture (corn, soya) and apple producing – just as it was a century ago. Its proximity to larger towns
has encouraged the municipality's urban development.
Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton population 863 E-1
The pioneer families of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton settled in the area starting in 1870, arriving in force from
St-Romain and St-Sébastien. Other English colonists decided to settle more along the 10th range road. At
the base of Mount Sainte-Cécile, to the north of Lac-Mégantic, the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton
enjoys spectacular surroundings along the banks of the Chaudière River. Jean-Baptiste Verret built its church
in 1901. Local residents still work in the forestry and agricultural industries, as well as maple bushes and
some world-famous granite businesses: Tuiles Grani-Décor and Le Groupe Polycor (Granit Bussière, Tuiles et
Tranches Polycor), specializing in construction stone and stone intended for residential and commercial
sectors (ex.: countertops, flooring, etc.). This aspect of the area sheds some light on the surrounding region’s
name – Granit. The area is one of tranquility and quiet industriousness, a combination that makes it a great
place to live.

Sainte-Edwidge-de-Clifton population 448 D-3
Sainte-Edwidge's coat of arms symbolizes local community values and the central place of the church (1865)
in everyday life. Loyalists cleared the township, and French Canadians had it sanctioned as a parish in 1865
and in 1895, as Sainte-Edwidge-de-Clifton, protected by the pious Duchess Hedwidge of Silesia who lived
from 1174 to 1243. Between the Moe and Ascot Rivers, the community profits from its dairy- and pork-
based economy. The municipality also boasts a fish farm, Les Arpents Verts, and a ripened-cheese farm, La
Germaine and a bio-fermentation plant, Bio Lacto.
Sainte-Sabine population 1,083 A-3
Formed in 1921, the Sainte-Sabine parish received its first colonists in 1888 and the canonical
establishment of its parish in 1889. In 1987, municipal authorities adopted the French term Sabinois to
describe the town's residents.
Scotstown population 588 E-2
Founded by Scottish colonists,
Tourisme Haut-St-François
and with descendents of the
founding families still residing
there, Scotstown was built on
the development of our national
railway. The descending Salmon
River lent itself to the creation of a
hydroelectric dam, and convinced
owners of Glasgow Canadian Land
and Trust Company to set up
business and establish a hamlet
there in 1872. The municipality
officially became Scotstown in
1892, named in honour of John
Scott, the first manager of the
company. Today, this tiny pictur-
esque village not far from Mount
Megantic continues to thrive off
forestry and its derivatives, as well
as tourism and businesses related Scotstown
to herb production and bio-foods. With four bell towers testifying to its rich religious past, this charming
bailiwick also features some stunning residences typical of 19th-century Eastern Townships architecture.
Shefford population 6,064 B-2
Shefford Township occupies a unique position in the heart of the upper Yamaska region, sharing a common
border with towns like Bromont, Granby and Waterloo. Founded in 1792 by Loyalists emigrating from the
United States, Shefford Township is today a semi-rural township. Its territory is dominated by Mount
Shefford, which offers a number of magnificent views of the region. A significant portion of the Estriade bike
path can be found south of the mountain, as well as an ecological park. Over 200 km of small side roads
entice cycling fans.

Sherbrooke population 150,751 ( C-2
Sherbrooke is the sixth largest city in Quebec
Tourisme Sherbrooke
with a population of 151,000 and features
one of the highest rates of bilingualism in
the province (40%). The city covers an area of
366 km2 divided into six boroughs: Brompton,
Fleurimont, Lennoxville, Mont-Bellevue, Rock
Forest –Saint-Élie – Deauville and Jacques-Cartier.
The agricultural, wooded and rural sectors
feature idyllic landscapes and preserve a
green crown around the city. What’s more,
its irregular topography of hills, valleys and flat
terrain offer magnificent vantage points.
Located in the heart of the Eastern Townships, where
Sherbrooke, City hall
the St. Francis and Magog Rivers meet, Sherbrooke
benefits from an enviable geographic position. Long before the area was officially opened to settlement, the
Abenaki called it Ktineketolekwac or "Grand Forks." The site was occupied by Gilbert Hyatt and his
associates, who in 1801 built a flourmill and sawmill at the Magog River gorge. This stimulated rapid growth
and the village expanded quickly, taking its current name in 1818 in honour of Sir John Coape Sherbrooke,
a soldier made Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia then Governor General of Canada from 1816 to 1818.
The railway system sprouted at this nexus of communications in 1850, and Sherbrooke enjoyed a new wave
of growth. For more than a century, its economy rested on the textile, food and mechanical industries. The
creation of the Université de Sherbrooke in 1954 changed that vocation, gradually making the city a centre
for the service industry and unique as a city of knowledge, know-how and well-being.
Knowledge plays a predominant role in Sherbrooke. Few cities the size of Sherbrooke can boast having two
universities, one of which is French and the other English. Even rarer are those with three colleges, one of
which is English. Specialized training centres in the fields of mechanical production, rubber and plastics, the
food processing industry, and biotechnology are also a significant asset.

Stanbridge East population 833 A-3
Stanbridge East was founded in 1801 and incorpo-

rated in 1890. The first occupants were Loyalists –
former British colonists who remained loyal to
the Crown during the American Revolution –
who settled here in 1797. They cleared the land,
creating a farming industry that still fuels the
community today. Around 1800, a grain mill and
sawmill were constructed next to the Pike River.
Be sure to visit the Anglican Church (1860), the
United Church (1844), and the neo-classical old
school. Take a look at the Missisquoi Museum,
Sébastien Larose
including the Cornell Mill (1830), Hodge's General

Store and the Annex (Bill's Barn). The village is
famed for its Loyalist origins and architecture.

Stanbridge Station population 363 A-3
The first colonists arrived in what would be Stanbridge Station in the middle of the 19th century. The rail era
and the arrival of the Montreal and Vermont Junction in 1801 shaped the town's economic life up to and
beyond its incorporation in 1889. The name Stanbridge came from the Township of the same name, and
Station emphasized the importance of the railway station that served the town until 1955. Stanbridge Station
was also a prolific agricultural community, with large dairy farms, garden markets and fruit farms. The recent
arrival of immigrants from Spain, France, Switzerland and Belgium has enhanced the town's cultural wealth.

residences border Dufferin Street, where one
can find the Colby-Curtis Museum, housed in
the prestigious Carrolcroft House (1859), an
Italian-style villa and a source of pride for
Stanstead residents. Stanstead Plain, whose
origins date back to around 1796, was
colonized by Johnson Taplin. The Eastern
Townships first newspaper, the British
Colonist, began in 1823 and was replaced by
the Stanstead Journal in 1845. In 1855, the
town was officially recognized. Zeba Beebe, a
native of Connecticut, colonized Beebe Plain
around 1789. The hamlet became official in
1873, and in 1874, a huge resort comprising
more than 30 chalets was built. In 1935, a
fire ravaged the complex. The first post office, An architecture to discover
located in an old store made of stone, is

arrived from Massachusetts around 1798.
Samuel and Selah Pomroy built wooden
structures that served as way stations and
shelters for immigrants. The building housing
the Haskell Free Library and Opera House,
built in 1901 and inaugurated in 1904, is
named for Carlos F. Haskell, an American
businessman from Derby Line who owned a
number of sawmills. The Opera House is very Colby-Curtis Museum
unique: it is split in half by the Canadian-
American border, and audiences sit in the United States while watching performers play in Canada! A border
marker has been placed close to the Haskell Library. Stanstead College (1874) is also worth a visit, as well as
the Butters House (1866), the Ursulines Convent (1884) inspired by the Second Empire, the neo-Gothic style
Christ Anglican Church (1857-58) and Centenary United Church (1866).
Attractions: GranitExpo, Colby-Curtis Museum, see page 82
Stanstead-Est population 652 C-3
Stanstead East separated from Stanstead in 1932. The Tomifobia River runs through its western end, and was
probably travelled by the Abenakis and later by American Loyalists from Massachusetts. The Town Council's
office is located in the Cassville School (1817), considered to be one of the oldest school buildings in the area,
if not the entire province. The town also boasts a prestigious golf course, Dufferin Heights Country Club, which
opened in 1925. By way of the golf course, visitors can reach the top of the Dufferin Heights’ hill where two
recently restored monuments can be found: a cenotaph (1923) and a monument (1927) dedicated to pioneer
families in the form of a raised platform offering an exceptional view of the region.

Stoke population 2,771 C-2
Stoke was first known in 1792 as Cowan's Clearance in

René Houle
memory of Moses Cowan, who surveyed the land for the

British Crown.The Township was abandoned in 1837 due
to a lack of interest, and passed into the hands of the
British American Land Company, a group of Anglo-
American industrialists. In 1856, thanks to the Stoke
Road and the road that would lead to Sherbrooke, the
territory was opened to settlement. A testimony to the
industriousness of its citizens, Stoke boasts the Saint-
Philémon Church (1892) in a neo-gothic style. The
Sentiers de l'Estrie (Townships Trails) give visitors access
to Mount Chapman, the culminating peak of Mount
Stoke and Bald Peak, at an altitude of 650 metres.

Stornoway population 592 E-1
More than a third of Frontenac Park crosses into the Municipality of Stornoway. At the Lambton-St. Francis-
Megantic crossroads, surveyors divided the village (then named Bruceville) into cadastral lots. In 1849, a first
general store opened its doors. Colin Noble, a merchant, potash manufacturer, justice of the peace, school
commissioner and postmaster, took it over in 1852 and became the township's most visible person. He
ratified the town's new name to remind the Gaelic land-clearers of their origins on the Isle of Lewis. Three
cemeteries provide solid links to the past as the last resting places of the Scottish colonists – as well as a
monument that faces the church recalling the history of the founding families. The Catholic church, dating
back to 1920, shelters a superb statue of Saint-Alphonse sculpted by Louis Jobin. On Route 161, along the
banks of the Legendre River, an ancient flour mill recalls the arrival of the French Canadians, an era
celebrated by writer Jean O'Neil in his Stornoway, L'Âge du Bois – which is in turn dedicated to Thérèse
Legendre, a local inspiration.
Stratford (Municipality of the Township of) population 918 E-1
The name of this municipality, founded in

1868, was inspired by Stratford-Upon-Avon,
birthplace of William Shakespeare. The clearing
of the Township began in 1840 when the
government offered free concessions to
colonists. While the Scottish were first to arrive,
French Canadians from the South Shore and
the Beauce began settling along the Lambton
road. In 1863 their efforts bore fruit – the
Champoux, Arcand and Delisle families ran two
general stores and two of the four mills in the
Croisières du lac Aylmer (cruises)
village, including the largest, the Delisle
sawmill. The municipality is blessed with numerous lakes: Aylmer, Elgin, Maskinongé, Équerre and
Héronnière. Near Lake Héronnière, a flora and fauna nature interpretation trail has been developed and
features a heron colony. The Maskinongé Marsh offers a walking trail and an observation tower.

Stukely-Sud population 1,048 B-2
South Stukely, founded in 1855, is a municipality located across Route 112 between Eastman and
Waterloo. It was originally colonized and settled by New England Loyalists at the end of the 18th century. At
the beginning of the 19th century, Francophones from overflowing parishes in the Saint Lawrence valley and
veterans of the War of 1812 cleared new farms. The municipality's name reflects this dual origin. “Stukely”
was chosen to commemorate a village in Huntingdonshire in the centre of England. Three churches hearken
from that era: St. Matthew's Anglican Church (1856), the United Church (1880), which has become a
Catholic church, and the Adventist Church (1883). The latter is the oldest Adventist church in Eastern Canada
while St. Matthew’s is now a site for cultural and community activities. The history of the village is linked to
the Stagecoach Road, which offers a wonderful view to those who drive through the area or cycle past on the
Route Verte. South Stukely residents are sometimes called “Diligents” (the French word for stagecoach) – a
throwback to that bygone era. Today, the municipality is working to improve its residents' quality of life and
number of services, ensuring a rural community that is welcoming to visitors and new inhabitants.
Sutton population 3,805 ( B-3
d’Arbre en Arbre Sutton
Ski Sutton Excitement in winter as in summer
As early as 1799, Loyalists began arriving to this area, which they called Sutton Flat based on its geographical
location in a valley of the same name and located at the foot of the Sutton mountain range. From New
Hampshire, Thomas Shepard was one of the first pioneers to clear the land. The Township of Sutton was formed
in 1802 and was incorporated in 1855. In 1896, Queen Victoria herself signed the act incorporating the Village
of Sutton. It wasn’t until 1962 that the border community of Sutton was granted town status. The merger
between the Town and the Township of Sutton took place forty years later in 2002. The new territory includes
the sectors of Glen Sutton and Sutton Jonction to cover a territory of 244 km2. Several new buildings were
constructed during the 19th century: the first school built in 1808 and the town hall built in 1859 when the first

Visiting the Region

mayor in the Township of Sutton, F. A. Olmstead, was in office. The following decades saw the addition of a
railway station and Anglican, Baptist and Catholic churches. As a result, Sutton is rich in history and exceptional
built heritage that can be discovered through its three heritage trails. Mountains, rivers and valleys often feature
spectacular views that change with the time of day, the viewpoint and the season. Outdoor enthusiasts will
enjoy hiking in Parc d’Environnement Naturel de Sutton that maintains up to 82 km of trails, one of the most
beautiful four-season trail networks in Quebec and where dogs are always welcome.
True to its reputation as a outdoor and cultural destination, Sutton offers a new slate of activities with each
season: hiking, snowshoeing, sliding sports, golfing, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing,
tennis (even on grass), treetop trekking, cycling …Among the major centres in Quebec, Mount Sutton ranks at
the top because of its design and its varied trails and backcountry skiing, rated the best in Canada. On the
cultural scene, you’ll find a long list of activities: visuals arts (studio tours during the Tour des Arts), performance
art (theatre, improvisation), music (jazz and blues festival) and cinema, among others. These numerous
attractions and activities attract visitors, tourists, vacationers and new residents to Sutton – a town brimming
with hospitality.

A well-preserved church in the village of Ulverton Ulverton Woolen Mill
At the beginning of the 19th century, Ulverton received its first American colonists (1802-1815). British,
Scottish, Irish and French Canadians followed them after 1840. Although it was not made official until 1944,
its name dates back to 1853. Some say that it is a variation of the name Tilverton, a village close to Dublin
and the birthplace of one of the town's founders, Edmund T. Patterson. Others think it refers more to the
British village of Ulverston. Either way, this town is one of the most authentic and picturesque villages in
Quebec, thanks to the number, quality and diversity of its heritage buildings. Among these buildings is the
Blanchette Mill (1850-1945), now the Ulverton Woolen Mill, with its turbine, energy transmission system,
and still-functioning machines from yesteryear! Close by, one can find a perfect reconstruction of the
covered bridge that John Porter built at the turn of the century.

Val-Joli population 1,514 C-2
Val-Joli's history dates back to 1885, when a municipal structure was established in the region, close to the
Odanak mission. Closely associated to the Township, Val-Joli separated in 1991 to become its own
municipality. It boasts a tree plantation of majestic species: oak, ash, maple and wild cherry, with walking
trails, fishing areas and an endangered species garden to inform citizens and visitors of the need for
environmental protection.
Val-Racine population 163 E-2
Val-Racine was founded in 1892. In the

Waterville population 1,974 C-3
Beyond its engaging New England charm, Waterville has outstanding hydroelectric potential, which
attracted its initial British, Loyalist and American population in 1870. Industrial development began in 1810,
however, with the construction of a sawmill by a Compton Township businessman. Convinced by merchants
in Quebec City, Joseph Pennoyer collected seven tons of hemp at his sawmill, intended for the manufacture
of British ship cords. Inventor George Gale succeeded him in 1879, patenting his own mattress designs,
which eventually made him one of the world's great inventors of box springs and spring mattresses.
Waterville remains an industrial centre, with three internationally recognized companies, one of which is
Waterville TG, acquired by the Japanese giant Gosei in 1988 and specializing in auto-part manufacturing.
Aside from the rubber, plastic moulding and woodworking factories, Waterville is also host to a number of
interesting buildings: the mansard-style Gale family residence, now the Foyer Waterville; the Anglican Church
on the corner of Principale and Compton Ouest; a covered bridge dating from the second half of the
19th century; and the Ball residence, a Queen-Anne style house which belonged to the founders of the
Dominion Smith company, once a North American leader in scythe handle production. The former Ball
residence now houses a bed and breakfast. The nine-hole Bonnie View Golf Club, now known as the
Waterville Golf Club, is among Quebec's oldest links.
Weedon population 2,733 D-1
Families from Saint-Hyacinthe and
Reynald Gravel
the Richelieu Valley colonized
Weedon Township around 1840.
Eventually, the municipalities of
Fontainebleau (1997) and
Saint-Gérard (2000) joined
Weedon to create a larger
municipality. Lake Aylmer, Lake
Louise, the Salmon River and the
St. Francis River cross its fertile
lands. A dozen roadside crosses
have stood guard over Weedon for Fresque de Weedon (mural paintings)
more than 40 years. The Vieux Moulin Park, upgraded in 2007, provides a picnic area and walking trails
featuring interpretation panels. In the summer of 2003, Weedon was the site of the opening of the Harfang
art gallery and a permanent exhibition space at the Laplante House, a heritage home that also includes a
performance space whose stage has been graced by singers and actors alike. Every August, Weedon
transforms into the “Village des Daltons” with gymkhana and rodeo competitions for the thousands of
visitors in attendance. Discover Weedon – now recognized as the second Village-Relais in the Eastern
Townships – a jewel close to the Townships Trail.

Westbury (Township) population 959 D-2
Westbury Township circles the town of East Angus. Clearing the area began in 1801 and was mostly
completed when the town was founded in 1858. Thanks to William Angus, who left Canada Paper in order
to open his sawmill and factory, the Township became a local centre for pulp and paper in 1882. At the
crossroads of Route 214 and the Bassin Sud road, a century-old roadside cross defies time and is a source
of pride for local residents.

Windsor population 5,356 C-2
Stéphane Lemire
La Poudrière (Windsor) and the Watopeka river Activities at La Poudrière de Windsor
Windsor is perhaps best known for its ultra-modern Domtar fine paper plant. Apart from the Abenaki camps
in this area between 1600 and 1700, it was unpopulated until the dawn of the 19th century. Around 1800,
Governor General Prescott granted a tract of land to Joseph Brown to thank him for his service to the
Crown. In 1876, when Michel Cloutier, a French-Canadian colonist, acquired land, a rift grew between
Francophones and Anglophones, with one side locating in the Township municipality and the other in the
village of Windsor Mills. The latter was elevated to town status in 1899, and took its current name in 1914.
The name springs from the village of Berkshire, where one might admire Windsor Castle (built around 1344
at the request of King Edward III). While the bulk of Windsor's economy is built on the pulp and paper
industry as well as textile manufacturing, there are also some worthy attractions. Note, among others,
the Poudrière de Windsor, which bore witness to the manufacture of black explosive powder in Canada
around 1864.

in 1849. The post office was established in
1853, and the municipality in 1855. Initially
cleared by seven families of squatters, then by
people from seignieuries, Wotton became the
first Francophone Township during the area's
settlement. It is linked to the Route Verte No 1
through the Asbestos region's cycle network.
The birthplace of Maurice O'Bready, innovator
and founder of the Université de Sherbrooke,
the town also boasts a mansard-style rectory

x Campground rating program

The Conseil de Développement du Camping au Québec (CDCQ) is responsible for applying
the rating program for camping establishments. This program rates both the quality of
the establishment’s facilities and its offerings in terms of services and activities. As such,
campgrounds are rated on a scale of 0 to 5 stars and are evaluated every other year. Note
that this rating program has been mandatory since 2004 in accordance with government
regulations.
This sign ( Á ) identifies campgrounds that are in the process of being evaluated.
The ( ) category identifies campgrounds reserved for tents.
To know more about the campground rating program and the definitions of the various rating
levels, call the CDCQ at 514 252-3333 or visit us on the Internet at: www.campingquebec.com
Camping establishment: establishments offering services and fixed campsites for tents, recreational camping
vehicles, whether motorized or not.
Scale of 1 to 5 stars
$ Rates
The price of each unit can vary according to the number of people, the season, the type of plan
and the characteristics of the unit.
This guide publishes the maximum price of the least expensive unit and the maximum price of
the most expensive unit. The price of Bed and Breakfast establishments includes breakfast.
Published prices do not include taxes.
Prices are given as guidelines only. It is always preferable to contact the establishment directly
