Farnham, Quebec
Farnham is a city in Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada. The population as of the Canada 2021 Census was 10,149, making it the second most populated community in the RCM.
The City of Farnham takes its name from the historic Township of Farnham, which is one of the few townships established before 1800 and was named in remembrance of Farnham, Surrey, England. The first "Farnhamiens," who were mostly Loyalists from the United States, arrived in 1800.
On December 28, 1876, Farnham got the status of "town". On March 8, 2000, the Town of Farnham and the Municipality of Rainville merged to form the new "City of Farnham." The total population is now 8,000 inhabitants.
Farnham is also the site of an important military training camp, which is used primarily by the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School and the local militia.
Built on the shores of the Yamaska River, at the border of the Saint-Lawrence lowlands, the city of Farnham is located in the center of important cities such as Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (West) and Granby (North-East).
Following a destructive fire in 1949, a new station was built in 1950. This post-war era, which coincided with the height of the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway network, allowed the town of Farnham to become the administrative centre of the eastern railway network. More than 500 staff members worked at this building with a modern urban tradition. Farnham has a considerable railway station in relation to its population. However, the station only handles freight, including rail cars from Western Canada. In the past, the station welcomed rail passengers.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Farnham had a population of 10,149 living in 4,446 of its 4,697 total private dwellings, a change of 13.9% from its 2016 population of 8,909. With a land area of 92.12 km2 (35.57 sq mi), it had a population density of 110.2/km2 (285.3/sq mi) in 2021.
Petite Église - once an old church, the newly renovated building is now a fully functional recording studio, owned and operated by Montreal-based indie rock band Arcade Fire. The band announced on January 18, 2013, that they are selling the church they had been using as a studio. Other notable bands to have recorded at Petite Église include Wolf Parade and Hot Springs. The church is now owned by Emery Street Records, and continues to be used as a recording studio.
