Wotton

Sector Des Sources

Wotton owes its name to a village in Surrey, England. Wotton, which was part of the township of the same name, was proclaimed in 1849. The post office was established in 1853, and the municipality in 1855. Initially cleared by seven families of squatters, then by people from seignieuries, Wotton became the first Francophone Township during the area’s settlement. It is linked to the Route Verte No. 1 through the Asbestos region’s cycle network. The birthplace of Maurice O’Bready, innovator and founder of the Université de Sherbrooke, the town also boasts a mansard-style rectory built in 1884 and a church dating back to 1902. A welcoming atmosphere and quality lodgings make this a great four-season stop for visitors.
