township, in the co. of Shefford, is bounded N.E. by Milton; E. by Shefford; S.W. by Farnham and N. by the S. of St. Hyacinthe. - The land is generally of a useful quality, principally composed of a blackish loam, over which, in some places, there is a layer of fine vegetable mould, from which good crops of wheat and other grain might reasonably be expected; may parts are particularly eligible for the growth of hemp and some for flax. The timber consists of beech, elm, butternut, maple, pine and a little oak. The parts laid out were granted in 1785 to officers and privates of the British militia, who served during the blockade of Quebec in 1775-6. - Watered by various streams running into the N.W. and S. branches of the R. Yamaska.
