Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton

Sector Granby & region
Description Map

Around 1825, British colonists established themselves at Milton Corner, but were soon replaced by a tide of migrating French Canadians. Adventurous settlers arrived from neighbouring parishes, and in 1864 they founded the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton, which became the first Catholic parish in the county and assumed the name of the 1846 mission in Shefford County. Today, local economic life is based on large-scale agriculture (corn, soya) and apple producing – just as it was a century ago. Its proximity to larger towns has encouraged the municipality’s urban development.
