Municipalities of Quebec

Cities, towns, villages

Here comes an introductory article about cities, towns, villages of Quebec will come shortly.

Exceptions: Quebec City, Montreal and its boroughs and towns located on the Island of Montreal, which form a Montreal Metropolitan area…

Almost all of the communities are located within so called Regional Municipal Counties or MRC in French (for Municipalites regionales de comte). Nevertheless, a few of cities, towns and villages do not form part of a county.

There are also Indian reserves, which are not a part of counties. In the past, many local villages were called Townships or Cantons in French. Many other, were formed as parish.
