Sherbrooke, located in the southeast region of Quebec, was established at the beginning of the 19th century. With a population of 150,000, it is the principal city in the Eastern Townships region and the seventh largest city in the province of Quebec.
The Frontenac Power Station built in 1888 in the middle of the Magog River Gorge is the oldest, operational hydroelectric plant in Quebec. Other hydroelectric facilities followed, creating a network of eight power stations and three major substations on the waterways within the municipality. The Paton, Frontenac and Abenaquis power stations are in the downtown area, while the Memphremagog, Rock Forest and Drummond power stations cascade down on the Magog River upstream from the city.
