Geography


The area is characterized by rugged terrain of the Laurentian Mountains, marked here and there by mountains that rise more than 400 meters (1,300 ft) above sea level.[4] Its principal streams are the Little Rouge River and the Suffolk Creek that feeds it, the first being a tributary of the Petite-Nation River.[5]


History

Suffolk Township (named after the county in England) was already on the Gale and Duberger map of 1795, but not officially established until 1874.[5] Municipally it was part of the United Township Municipality of Hartwell-et-Suffolk until 1880 when the municipality separated[6] and the Township Municipality of Suffolk was formed, taking effect on January 1, 1881.

In 1885, Addington Township (named after Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth) [4] was merged with Suffolk Township, creating the United Township Municipality of Suffolk-et-Addington.[1] This county consisted of Vinoy, Namur, Saint-Émile, Lac-des-Plages and part of Vendée.

In 1889, the Parish of Saint-Émile-de-Suffolk was formed. This name paid tribute to Émile Quesnel of Saint-Andre-Avellin, who had been particularly generous toward the early settlers of the area.[1]

Piece by piece, portions of the united township were detached to form new municipalities: Vinoy in 1920 (which became part of Chénéville in 1996), Lac-des-Plages in 1950, and finally Namur in 1964.[7]

In 1994, the name and status were changed to that of Municipality of Saint-Émile-de-Suffolk.[1]
