Information about Stanstead – Quebec:
------:------
Stanstead is a town in the Memphrémagog Regional County Municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec.
Stanstead is located on the Canada-United States border across from Derby Line, Vermont.
The Town of Stanstead was created in 1995 by the merger of the former towns of Stanstead Plain, Rock Island
and Beebe. It is not to be confused with the township of Stanstead, which is nearby although not directly
adjacent (the municipality of Ogden lies in between).
The Haskell Free Library and Opera House was deliberately constructed straddling the border for access to both
Canadians and Americans.
Geography:
The Tomifobia River runs through the town of Stanstead, dividing the U.S./Canadian border at times. Along
portions of Canada’s Canusa Street, houses on the southern end of the street lie entirely within Vermont, while
their driveways direct northward, and connect to the street in Quebec, as the northern portions of their properties
are within Canada. These residents’ backyard neighbours are American, while families living right across the
street are Canadian, though no noticeable boundary exists between the two (the street itself is entirely within
Canada). In other places, the international border runs through individual homes, so that meals prepared in one
country are eaten in the other. An entire tool-and-die factory, once operated by the Butterfield division of Litton
Industries, is also divided in two by the border. [16]
