My Beautiful Visit In North Hatley QC

North Hatley, Jewel of the Eastern Townships!
First Arrivals
Loyalists from south of the nearby border, fleeing the American Revolution, were attracted to the area by the view of the lake and the mountains, the microclimate and the dense vegetation, not to mention abundant fish and game. The new inhabitants chose to call the region “Hatley”, after an English village.
In 1803, the Hatley Township was granted to Ebenezer Hovey and to Henry Cull, an English businessman, and their associates.
In 1830, the land that made up Massawippi Outlet, as it was then called, essentially belonged to three families - the Culls, the Wadleighs and the LeBarons - whose descendants still live in the area.
With the opening of the first post office around 1859, Massawippi Outlet took on the name of North Hatley.
The first source of income was potash (as evidenced by the nearby Capelton mines), and a number of trades eventually contributed to the prosperity of the region: butter factories, flour mills, blacksmith shops, butchers, farmers, etc.The Railway
Yet if it hadn’t been for the railway, the little community would have remained a well-kept secret for a long time.
In 1852, however, the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad built the Eastern Townships’ very first railway line, linking Longueuil, on the south shore of Montreal, to Sherbrooke.
The goal was to connect Montreal to an ocean port in order to avoid interrupting transatlantic shipping during the cold season, when the St. Lawrence wasn’t navigable.
As soon as 1853, the line was extended to Portland, Maine, passing through North Hatley.
By 1869, North Hatley boasted a post office, a general store and a few houses. Five years later, the small village underwent a building boom: several houses and a railway station were built, and the 1881 edition of the Atlas of the Eastern Townships shows a hotel, a church, a blacksmith shop and several farms.
