Huntingdon County, Quebec (original) (raw)
Huntingdon County is an historical county in southwestern Quebec, Canada. It is named after the town and county of the same name (Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire) in east central England. It is situated in the Montreal South Shore region of Montérégie, one of the roughly 12 regions of Quebec. The county was bounded entirely on its south by the Canada–US border (45° N for 88.75 km from 73°32′ W to 74°40′ W), along its northwestern flank by Lake St-Francis (Lac St-François) of the Saint Lawrence River to its most northern point on the river at 45°13′ N and 74°13′ W, to the east by Saint-Jean County, with its easternmost point at 45°5.5' N and 73°31′ W (this point forms the junction of the borders of Châteauguay County, Napierville County and Saint-Jean County) and to the north from east to west

| dbo:abstract | Huntingdon County is an historical county in southwestern Quebec, Canada. It is named after the town and county of the same name (Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire) in east central England. It is situated in the Montreal South Shore region of Montérégie, one of the roughly 12 regions of Quebec. The county was bounded entirely on its south by the Canada–US border (45° N for 88.75 km from 73°32′ W to 74°40′ W), along its northwestern flank by Lake St-Francis (Lac St-François) of the Saint Lawrence River to its most northern point on the river at 45°13′ N and 74°13′ W, to the east by Saint-Jean County, with its easternmost point at 45°5.5' N and 73°31′ W (this point forms the junction of the borders of Châteauguay County, Napierville County and Saint-Jean County) and to the north from east to west by Napierville County, Châteauguay County, and Beauharnois County. On the other side of the Saint Lawrence River is Soulanges County, Quebec, the Township of Lancaster and the Township of Charlottenburgh in Glengarry County, Ontario, and the Township of Cornwall in Stormont County, Ontario. Huntingdon County is the only county in the St Lawrence Valley to be entirely and totally divided into townships, of which there are 7. All these townships run in a straight line and have the Canada–US border as a common southern border. From east to west they are the Township of Hemmingford, the Township of Havelock, the Franklin Township, the Township of Hinchinbrooke, the Township of Elgin, the Township of Godmanchester, and the Township of Dundee. The county seat, Huntingdon, located at 45°5′ N and 74°10′ W, straddles the border between Hinchinbrooke and Godmanchester. Except for Godmanchester, all the other townships have a community that takes the name of the township in which it is situated (Hemmingford, Havelock, Franklin, Hinchinbrooke, Elgin, Dundee). A notable feature of Huntingdon County is the presence of the Saint Regis Akwesasne Mohawk Reserve at the westernmost point of the county in the Township of Dundee. That area of the Saint Lawrence, like many along its length, contains many small islands. The Reserve straddles the meeting point of the Quebec-Ontario-New York State borders at that point. The American side of the Reserve is Franklin County, New York. On 1 January 1982, the county was officially dissolved. Most of the County became part of the MRC de Le Haut-Saint-Laurent except for a small section in the far east (The Township of Hemmingford and the Village of Hemmingford) which became part of MRC de Les Jardins-de-Napierville. (en) Le comté de Huntingdon était un comté municipal du Québec ayant existé entre 1855 et le début des années 1980. Le territoire qu'il couvrait fait aujourd'hui partie de la région de la Montérégie et est compris dans les MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent et des Jardins-de-Napierville. Son chef-lieu était la ville de Huntingdon. Le comté de Huntingdon tire son nom de la ville et du comté du même nom (Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire) dans le centre-sud de l'Angleterre. Il est bordé au sud par la frontière canado-américaine, au nord-ouest par le lac Saint-François (élargissement du fleuve Saint-Laurent), au nord par les comtés de Châteauguay et de Beauharnois et à l'est par les comtés de Saint-Jean et de Napierville. Huntingdon est le seul comté de la vallée du Saint-Laurent à être entièrement divisé en cantons, au nombre de sept. Tous ces cantons se trouvent en ligne droite et ont en commun de border la frontière Canada-États-unis au sud. De l'est vers l'ouest ce sont les cantons d'Hemmingford, d'Havelock, de Franklin, d'Hinchinbrook, d'Elgin, de Godmanchester et de Dundee. Le chef-lieu, Huntingdon, est situé sur la frontière entre Hinchinbrook et Godmanchester. À l'exception de Godmanchester, tous les autres cantons ont une communauté qui porte le nom du canton dans lequel il se trouve (Hemmingford, Havelock, Franklin, Hinchinbrook, Elgin, Dundee). On note la présence de la réserve Mohawk d'Akwesasne (anciennement Saint-Regis) au point extrême ouest du comté dans le canton de Dundee. La réserve chevauche le carrefour des frontières du Québec, de l'Ontario et l'État de New York. La partie américaine de la réserve se situe dans la partie nord-ouest du comté de Franklin. (fr) |
