Lambton is a municipality of about 1600 people in Le Granit Regional County Municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada.
Lambton is mostly rural and agricultural area with some business on the two main roads in town.
History
In 1855, the township of Lambton was created, while a Catholic mission, the future parish of Saint-Vital-de-Lambton, had already opened its registers in 1844. The current Saint-Vital Church in Lambton was built between 1905 and 1907. The village of Lambton, located on the eastern shore of Grand lac Saint François, was first incorporated as a municipality in 1913. Then, in 1976, a new municipality retaining the name Lambton was established from the merger of the village and the township.[1]
Infrastructure
The main roads connecting Lambton are Route 108 and Route 263.
