The first settlers of the township of Acton were either United Empire LOYALISTS or British, especially Scots, who homesteaded the area in the 1830s.
ActonVale benefited from the building of the ST LAWRENCE AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD line to Portland in the early 1850s and from the discovery, in 1857, of a rich copper deposit located less than 1 km from the railway station.
Known as La porte de l'Estrie (Door to the Eastern Townships), ActonVale is the county seat of the regional municipality of Acton.
