Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Québec, Canada
is located on Rivière RICHELIEU, about 25 km northwest of SAINT-HYACINTHE. It was built on land belonging to the Saint-Charles seigneury (granted 1698). In the early 19th century, the village flourished from trade associated with river transportation. It played an important part in the REBELLIONS OF 1837 : the Assembly of the Six Counties was formed there on 23 October 1837. The Patriotes were defeated there by English troops on November 25.
