Eastern Townships

A mere 70 kilometers (44 miles) south-east of Montreal, the Eastern Townships, which border New England, get their name from the British system of land division in colonial times. The countryside is characterized by fertile valleys scattered with postcard pretty villages like Knowlton, Frelighsburg and Dunham, founded, in large part, by Loyalists - settlers loyal to the British Crown. Charming, year-round resorts such as North Hatley and Magog on the shores of scenic Lakes Massawippi and Memphrémagog (the origin of their unusual names are Abenaki) have been welcoming visitors for well over a century.
