Sherbrooke, Urban center in Eastern Townships, Canada
Sherbrooke stands at the meeting point of Magog and Saint-François rivers, featuring diverse neighborhoods across its rolling landscape with numerous lakes and parks.
Gilbert Hyatt established the settlement in 1793 as a fur-trading post, and the city received its name from Governor-General Sir John Sherbrooke in 1818.
The Université de Sherbrooke, established in 1954, brings thousands of students to the city and maintains French-language education as a cornerstone of local identity.
The city connects to Montreal through major highways and railway lines, while maintaining strong manufacturing sectors in textiles, machinery, and paper products.
The surrounding woodlands contain abundant natural resources, including asbestos deposits, copper reserves, and diverse tree species such as birch and maple.
