Sorel‐Tracy, Industrial port city in southwestern Quebec, Canada
Sorel-Tracy sits at the meeting point of the Richelieu and St. Lawrence Rivers, forming a strategic location on the western edge of Lac Saint-Pierre.
Fort Richelieu was constructed in 1642 by Charles Huault de Montmagny to protect French settlers from conflicts with the Iroquois Confederacy.
The city maintains a strong French Canadian identity, with over ninety percent of the population speaking French as their primary language.
A year-round ferry service connects Sorel-Tracy to Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola, providing essential transportation across the St. Lawrence River for residents and visitors.
The local shipyard contributed to national defense by constructing three frigates for the Canadian forces during the late 1960s.
