East Hawkesbury

Developed around agricultural lots beside the Ottawa River, East Hawkesbury grew into a rural township in eastern Ontario. The river forms the nearby boundary with Quebec, placing the community in the bilingual cultural landscape of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. Small settlements including Saint-Eugène, Sainte-Anne-de-Prescott and Chute-à-Blondeau give the township its local identity, while working farms and country roads define much of the interior. French-language heritage is evident in many local names and in the area’s longstanding Franco-Ontarian presence.
