Encyclopedia > List of Quebec counties

Following is a list of the historic counties followed by their respective county seats, and territories in the province of Quebec. This list is sorted in alphabetical order by county name. There is a companion page sorted in alphabetical order by name of county seat List of county seats in Quebec. In terms of internal divisions of counties, there are 4 types of counties: 1) those that contain only townships, as is the case with those counties surveyed by the British after 1763; 2) those that contain only parishes, as is the case with those counties chiefly in the Saint Lawrence Valley settled by French colonists prior to 1760; 3) those that contain both townships and parishes, and 4) those that contain townships and undivided lands, as is the case with the northern counties outside the main populated areas of the province. Parishes as a land unit division are secular parishes, and are different from religious parishes. This is similar to Louisiana's parishes are that secular, and are equivalent to counties, in contrast to Quebec's secular parishes that are sub-county entities. Quebec's counties were dissolved in the early 1980s and Quebec was then divided into county regional municipalities.
