Stanbridge Station

Stanbridge Station

Just west of Bedford, Stanbridge Station is set along the Ruisseau Corriveau stream, which runs across its territory. The village was established with the arrival of the railways towards the year 1860, at a time when the Montréal and Vermont Junction Railway promoted regional commercial development and exchanges. The train station, which marked local life for nearly a century, gave the town its name.

Throughout the 1900s, Stanbridge Station became a major converging point for the stagecoach transportation network and an important merchandise distribution centre. In 1955, the trains stopped running, which led to the town’s activities to slow down considerably. However, the municipality has always been able to preserve its welcoming nature and its attachment to its farmlands.

Today, about 270 residents continue to uphold and agricultural tradition with their dairy farms, and with the region’s produce and fruit-growing businesses. Families arriving from countries such as Spain, France, Switzerland and Belgium have largely contributed to the region’s cultural vitality and have given it a certain “international” flair.
