Buckingham, Administrative sector in Gatineau, Canada.

Situated 30 kilometers northeast of Ottawa, Buckingham forms part of Gatineau with residential areas along the Lièvre River.

First settled in 1823, Buckingham developed around lumber mills when Great Britain sought alternative timber sources during the Napoleonic continental blockade.

The Buckingham en Fête festival celebrated local arts and music annually from 1991 to 2016, bringing together residents for summer performances.

The Hôpital de Papineau provides emergency care and outpatient services, while public transportation connects the area to other parts of Gatineau.

The Maclaren family established a sawmill in 1864 that expanded into match production and hydroelectric power generation for the region.
