Located at the outlet of Lake Massawippi, “lake of deep waters,” North Hatley was originally called the Outlet. It was first populated by the Abenakis, who hunted, fished, and held their ceremonies along the St. Francis River. In 1792, Ebenezer Hovey, captain of the militia in Connecticut, and Henry Cull submitted their request to the British Crown to obtain a concession of lands, which they received on March 25, 1803.

North Hatley was founded in 1897 at the northern tip of Lake Massawippi. Like its neighbouring village of Hatley, North Hatley grew thanks to the effort of immigrants gathered under the Company of Associates, whose goal was to obtain concessions in Lower Canada. In 1880, the construction of a rail line consolidated the village reputation as a resort, to the point that between 1902 and 1909, it reached a peak in numbers of tourists.

Bolton-Est is renowned not only for the beauty of the land and quality of life, but also for its wealth of history and heritage. Proclaimed in 1797, Bolton Township is the namesake for Bolton-Est and was settled very early by Loyalists.

Since the middle of the 19th century until the second World War, the township of Bolton was subject to a gradual territorial dismemberment which give way to the township of Magog (1849), the municipality of West Bolton (1876), Eastman (1888), Austin (1938) and St-Étienne de Bolton (1939). Today, the municipality of Bolton-Est represents less than 25% or 81km2 (31mi2) of the original area of the township.

Escape Game: Legend of Lake Massawippi

35 chmin de North Hatley, Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley J0B 1W0 Website

Lake Massawippi is an exceptional place, the scene of many stories and mysteries that have inspired a host of tales and legends. One of these copies, surprisingly stamped with the date June 17, was sent to you without further explanation, and you didn't bother. However, when the date arrived, at exactly midnight, a strange energy spread through the air, the book lit up as if by magic and all the pages turned white!

Since then, creatures, characters and objects straight out of the book's stories have been spotted in various parts of the lake. The local municipalities are asking for your help: explore these places to find the elements of the tales and legends that have escaped, and bring them back to the book!
