Our cities and towns all have something unique to offer you. Whether it’s a place, a product, a landscape, an attraction or an event, you’ll always have at least five good reasons for visiting them! Here's Brigham.
By Carolyne Parent
Now here’s a true country village almost at a stone’s throw away from Montreal! Located near Bromont, just north of Cowansville, it unfolds its green pastures, its vegetable fields, its vineyards and maple bushes on both shores of the Yamaska River which flows through the town.
By examining the town annals, we learn that a certain E. Oakley Brigham gave the village its name in the 19th century. This businessman of Irish descent was also the first to have received a formal notice from the Town. Indeed, he had omitted to maintain the road in front of his tannery and which led to the bridge! (Or was it a brick factory? Sources disagree on the subject.)
No matter, today Brigham is a lively little place in the Brome-Missisquoi region and an agri-food destination we take great pleasure in exploring!
