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. ==Townships== * Acton * Adstock * Arthabaska * Ascot * Aston * Auckland * Aylmer * Barford * Barnston * Blandford * Bolton * Brome * Brompton * Broughton * Bulstrode * Bury * Chesham * Chester * Clifton * Clinton * Coleraine * Compton * Ditchfield * Ditton * Dorset * Dudswell * Dunham * Durham * Eaton * Ely * Emberton * Farnham * Forsyth * Garthby * Gayhurst * Granby * Grantham * Halifax * Ham * Hampton * Hatley * Hereford * Horton * Inverness * Ireland * Jersey * Kingsey * Lambton * Leeds * Lingwick * Louise * Magog * Marlow * Marston * Melbourne * Milton * Nelson * Newport * Orford * Potton * Price * Risborough * Roxton * Shefford * Shenley * Shipton * Simpson * Somerset * Spalding * Stanbridge * Stanfold * Stanstead, Quebec (township), not to be confused with the nearby city of Stanstead * Stoke * Stratford * Stukely * Sutton * Thetford * Tingwick * Tring * Upton * Warwick * Weedon * Wendover * West Bury * Whitton * Wickham * Windsor * Winslow * Woburn * Wolfeston * Wotton 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Eastern Townships」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
