French colonists settled along the Chaudière River in the 17th century and established farms that shaped the region. This settlement foundation eventually turned the area into an agricultural center.
The region is deeply connected to farming traditions visible in local markets and seasonal celebrations. Maple syrup production features prominently in community gatherings and rural life.
Several highways connect the region to Quebec City for easy access from the city. Year-round outdoor activities include hiking trails, snowmobile routes, and bird watching spots.
