103. Where Are The Eastern Townships Of Quebec? The Eastern Townships is a huge section of quebec, strung out along the Americanborder, The one geographic constant is the township s name. http://simmons.b2b2c.ca/TOWNSHIP.HTM

The Eastern Townships is a huge section of Quebec, strung out along the American border, basically beginning at Lake Champlain. It stretches as far eastwards as the Quebec-Maine border (not far from the Chaudiere River) and as far north as Drummondville. It's made up of all the land south of the St. Lawrence River which was not granted under the French seigneurial system. Technically, a small strip of land on the south west corner of this region, known as the Seigneury of St. Armand, (located directly under the townships of Stanbridge and Dunham) is not a part of the Townships, but for genealogical purposes most people lump it in with the rest of the Townships because it was settled by the same type of people. The Eastern Townships was opened up for settlement by the British in the early 1790's. The more southerly regions tended to be settled primarily by Americans from the New England states, the more northern regions by immigrants from the British Isles. A wave of French-Canadian settlers swept into the region in the 1840s and by the 1871 census French-Canadians made up the majority of the population of the Townships. As the name implies, the region (now called the Estrie) was organized by townships which were then grouped into counties for administrative purposes.

Is Canada Disunited by Its Geography? The area of c As we have already observed, most of the Canadians live along the southern side of their country. Why is this? If you think climate is the answer, you have missed the most important reason. It is geology. More than half the Dominion is covered by a strange rocky formation that has dominated the development of Canada almost from the very beginning. This Pre-Cambrian or Laurentian shield, as it is called, lies like a gigantic collar around Hudson Bay. It spreads out to the Atlantic, and comes right down to the St. Lawrence, across which it throws a spur to form the Thousand Islands. Westward it encloses Lake Superior, and from there it stretches northwest to the mouth of the Mackenzie River in the Arctic. The Maritime Provinces This is not the only way nature has divided the Dominion into separate regions the like of which do not exist in our country. Set apart in the extreme east are the three provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, which Canadians commonly lump together as the Maritimes. They have a French history that is older than the founding of New England, and in the nineteenth century they received many immigrants from the British Isles. But it was the settlement of the Loyalists that gave the Maritimes their distinct character. These three provinces are much smaller than any one of the other six, and they are the only ones whose populations spread over their whole area. They are almost cut off from the rest of the Dominion by a rough mountainous barrier and the northern salient of Maine.

He had interpreted Native descriptions of the Saguenay River in 1535 to mean the Saguenay River basin was the homeland of a rich and powerful people. There was no 'kingdom' in the European sense, but there was a wealth of water power and forest resources that have made the region's modern-day French-speaking population prosperous and self-assured.
