	Eastern Townships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eastern Townships (in French les Cantons de l'est) is a region in south central Quebec, lying between the Saint Lawrence River and the US border.
		The region comprises the counties that are divided into townships after the traditional New England method of land grants, as opposed to other Quebec counties which are divided into municipalities based on the former seigneuries.
		Under the terms of the Constitutional Act of 1791, the Eastern Townships were open to settlement and a land rush followed.

	The following article is a sumary of my PhD thesis
		Although the Townships are predominantly rural and are in Quebec, their history and contemporary circumstances differ considerable from what might be called, the standard narrative of rural life in Quebec, over the past two-hundred or more years.
		Townships villages were never the settlements of the seigneurie, the rang, the curé, and the subsistence farmer or fisherman, but were historically Protestant, English-speaking and governed locally, more on an American New England style ‘town meeting’ model, rather than a theocracy headed by a priest (Little 1997, 8).
		Today, the Eastern Townships is a bit of an embarrassment to pure laine nationalists who like to think of their homeland as taken by force at the Conquest.

	Eastern Townships, Quebec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		However, although the Eastern Townships are part of Quebec, the discourse produced in this chapter stands in strong contrast to the macro-historical discourse of Quebec, as outlined in the previous chapter.
		Therefore the land pattern of the Eastern Townships is also characteristically different from the seigniorial rang system which Boubreau et al (1997, 40) refer to as “forme dominante du paysage rural québécois”- the semi-feudal land use system, which I described in chapter 4.
		Thus the Eastern Townships is a region of Quebec, which is well defined in the minds of the residents with whom I spoke, and in organisations such as the Townshippers Association.

	Eastern Townships - Economy
		Then began the long-running conflict between farmers and miners in the Eastern Townships, as it was a continual fear that the sheer number of miners the companies needed to meet a satisfactory level of production would take away from the farm labor the pre-industrial Townships had come to rely on for economic stability.
		Another negative aspect to the copper and sulfur mining industry in the Eastern Townships was that the workers themselves, (a mixture of French Canadians, English Canadians, and immigrants mostly from Northern and Eastern Europe), were notorious for causing fights in Sherbrooke where they would go to drink.
		The initial growth of the asbestos mining industry in the Eastern Townships mirrored the growth of the towns of Thetford and Asbestos.
