List of Eastern Townships
In 1792, the civil administrator of Lower Canada, Alured Clarke, ordered to survey the Crown lands south of the Saint Lawrence River into townships to make room for the Loyalists who had fled the United States. Only about a fifth of these townships were eventually settled by Loyalists. The rest of the surveyand land was settled by successive waves of French, American, Scottish, and Irish immigrants. Today, the historical Eastern Townships make part of four administrative regions of Quebec: Centre-du-Québec, Chaudière-Appalaches, Estrie, and Montérégie.

gollark: I mean TV shows and such.
gollark: Why? It isn't like the video streaming industry where each service has a different catalog.
gollark: That's very boring compared to saying superior things like "you are literally purely composed of positively charged K mesons right now".
gollark: So is saying "go away".
gollark: On said elbow.
