Saint-Armand is a charming municipality nestled in the Canadian province of Quebec. It is situated within the Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality and the Eastern Townships. This quaint town, which sits on the Canada–United States border, is steeped in history and culture, offering a unique blend of past and present.
The Municipality of Saint-Armand and the Village of Philipsburg were amalgamated on February 3, 1999, to form the new Municipality of Saint-Armand. Philipsburg, initially known as Missiskoui Bay, was settled in 1784 and holds the distinction of being the first settlement in the Eastern Townships.
Saint-Armand, previously known as Moore's Corners, is a historical landmark in its own right. It was the site of the Skirmish at Moore's Corners, a significant 1837 battle in the Lower Canada Rebellion.
As of the Canada 2011 Census, Saint-Armand had a population of 1,248. The population trend has been influenced by the amalgamation of the Municipality of Saint-Armand and the Village of Philipsburg in 1999.
Saint-Armand is a melting pot of languages and cultures. While French and English are widely spoken, the town is also home to a significant number of Germanophones. As of 2011, about 11% of the population spoke German, adding to the linguistic diversity of this charming Quebec town.
