County of Bagot

See also: Bagot

The county of Bagot was an electoral constituency represented with the House of Commons of Canada as of 1867, its creation going back to the drafting of the Acte of North America Britannique.

With its full expansion, it includes/understands the townships Upton and of Acton, the Paroisse S of Saint-Hugues, Saint-Simon, Holy-Rosalie, Saint-Dominique, Sainte-Hélène, Saint-Liboire and of Saint-Magpie.

In 1933, the county loses its power on the level Fédéral while being annexed with the electoral Circonscription of St-Hyacinthe. The new federal electoral constituency will be famous Saint-Hyacinthe-Bagot.

Until November 25th, 1981, the county is entirely attached to the regional municipality (MRC) of Acton. From there, it will slowly be cut up with the profit of neighbouring counties between 1981 and, until its end, the January 10th 1989. The Municipalité S at the origin of the county will be either members of MRC of Acton and of the county of Johnson, or transferred in MRC from Maskoutains and in the county from Saint-Hyacinthe.

Additional details

The county draws its name from Sir Charles Bagot, a British Diplomate , born in 1781 and died in 1843, which will be also General governor of Canada between 1841 and 1843.
