Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury
Among the places of Quebec, Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury stands out for its broad stretch of the Jacques-Cartier River, enclosed by wooded Laurentian hills. This large municipality lies north of Quebec City, where the river valley cuts through the southern Laurentians. Quiet roads and scattered homes occupy the lower ground along the water, beneath mixed forest and rounded ridges. Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury was created in 2002 from the former municipalities of Stoneham and Tewkesbury, and their names preserve its township-era settlement history. The Jacques-Cartier is one of the region’s principal rivers, flowing south towards the St. Lawrence River. Residential communities and outdoor recreation share this rural valley.
