Geography

The town's mountainous terrain in the heart of the Canadian Appalachians has earned it the nickname of "Quebec's little Switzerland," and boasts a picturesque location adjacent to the northern Nicolet river.

History

The first settlers to the area arrived in 1835, but colonization actually began in spring 1849 with the establishment of a Catholic parish.

Demographics

The principal source of income in Chesterville is agriculture and forest exploitation.

Attractions
