  Sherbrooke, Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sherbrooke (2001 population 75,916, post-merger population 141,200) is a city in south-eastern Quebec, Canada.
The area of Sherbrooke was first settled in 1793 by American Loyalists, including Gilbert Hyatt, a farmer from Schenectady, New York, who built a flour mill in 1802.
The city grew considerably on January 1, 2002, by the mergers of the cities of Sherbrooke, Ascot, Bromptonville, Deauville, Fleurimont, Lennoxville, Rock Forest, and Saint-Élie-d'Orford.
