Centre-du-Québec, Administrative region in southern Quebec, Canada.
Centre-du-Québec is an administrative region in southern Quebec that spans a large territory. It encompasses five municipalities: Bécancour, Nicolet-Yamaska, L'Érable, Arthabaska, and Drummond.
The region was established as an independent administrative division on July 30, 1997, when it separated from the former Mauricie-Bois-Francs area. This reorganization reshaped how the territory was governed and administered.
The area is home to members of the Wabanaki Nation, with their communities of Odanak and Wôlinak maintaining their presence here. Visitors can see how these groups continue their traditions and daily life in the region.
Three major highways—Autoroute 20, 30, and 55—connect the region to Montreal and Quebec City, each about 90 minutes away. These routes make it easy to travel through and access the area from neighboring cities.
The region serves as Quebec's agricultural heart, producing maple syrup, dairy goods, grains, and fruit at significant volumes. These farm products shape the landscape and local economy throughout the area.
