Stanstead, Quebec (township)
Stanstead is a township municipality of about 1,000 people in the Memphrémagog Regional County Municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec. It is not to be confused with the city of Stanstead, which is nearby although not directly adjacent.
Formally, the township consists of two villages: Fitch Bay and Georgeville. Both villages formed as a result of English-speaking migrants from the United States state of Vermont until borderline customs stations were established after 1920. Today, the population is bilingual with predominance in French language.
