This area was once a hunting and fishing ground of the Abenaki people who called it Ktineketolekwac, which means “Grand Forks.” The locale's prime geographic location also was not lost on Gilbert Hyatt, who, in 1801, chose this site at the confluence of the Magog and St. Francis river to build a flour mill and a sawmill. In 1818 the expanding settlement was named Sherbrooke to honor Sir John Coape Sherbrooke, then governor general of Canada. Learn More...
