Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande, Quebec
Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande is a municipality in Témiscouata Regional County Municipality in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. History Between 1915 and 1918, a group of students surveyed part of Robinson Township. In the early 1920s, a few New Brunswick squatters settled there, quickly followed by families from Sainte-Rose-du-Dégelé (now Dégelis), who occupied a strip of land along Baker Creek, then by people from Montreal, Quebec, Beauce and Bellechasse. In 1923, the mission of Saint-Maur was established, a name that recalls the proximity of the parish of Saint-Benoît-de-Packington, Saint Benedict of Nursia having been the teacher of Saint Maur (around 512-584). The Saint-Maur mission was installed near the Romain-Caron bridge on the right as you descend the Meruimticook River. The church was both school and church. Alcime Soucy's children (Eddy, Prime, Fred) attended it. It should also be added that two sawmills were in operation in the 1920s/1930s on the banks ...

Bas-Saint-Laurent
The Bas-Saint-Laurent (Lower Saint-Lawrence), is an administrative region of Quebec located along the south shore of the lower Saint Lawrence River in Quebec. The river widens at this place, later becoming a bay that discharges into the Atlantic Ocean and is often nicknamed ''"Bas-du-Fleuve"'' (Lower-River). The region is formed by eight regional county municipalities and 114 municipalities. In the south, it borders Maine of the United States, and the Canadian New Brunswick and the regions of Chaudière-Appalaches and Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine. It had a population of 197,385 and a land area of as of the 2016 Census. The territory has evidence of human occupation since the Pleistocene by successive indigenous peoples. The historic First Nations occupied it all until European colonisation started in the late 17th century; France made land concessions to settlers under the Seigneurial system of New France to encourage colonization. However, development of this region wa ...

Former Municipalities In Quebec
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the a ...

Populated Places Disestablished In 2001
Population typically refers to the number of people in a single area, whether it be a city or town, region, country, continent, or the world. Governments typically quantify the size of the resident population within their jurisdiction using a census, a process of collecting, analysing, compiling, and publishing data regarding a population. Perspectives of various disciplines Social sciences In sociology and population geography, population refers to a group of human beings with some predefined criterion in common, such as location, race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. Demography is a social science which entails the statistical study of populations. Ecology In ecology, a population is a group of organisms of the same species who inhabit the same particular geographical area and are capable of interbreeding. The area of a sexual population is the area where inter-breeding is possible between any pair within the area and more probable than cross-breeding with in ...
