Frelighsburg is a municipality in the Estrie region of southern Quebec, Canada, on the border with Vermont. It is at the foot of Mount Pinnacle, part of the Appalachian Mountains.
Administratively, it is within the Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality, in Estrie. Its population, as of the Canada 2021 Census, was 1,123.
History
The land that is now Frelighsburg was originally inhabited by the Abenaki people. It was established as a colony in the late 1790s by American Loyalists, including pioneer Abram Freligh, a physician of German origin who lived in Clinton, New York. The sawmill built by his son in 1839, and several other buildings from the 19th century are considered historical monuments. Prior to being named Frelighsburgh, it was named Conroy's Mills, named after another mill owner, and Slab City because of the large quantities of sawdust and slabs (slang for bark) in the area.
Geography
Frelighsburg is located less than 4 km from the Canada–US border with Vermont, nestled in a valley of orchards, crossed by the Pike River and at the foot of Mount Pinnacle.
