Wagowategok

Wagowategok lies near the Yamaska River in the St. Lawrence lowlands. Abenaki hunters travelled the river through the country between the Richelieu and Chaudière watersheds. In 1748 the French crown granted the seigneury of Maska along both banks of the Yamaska; Jacques-Hyacinthe Delorme began clearing and cultivating land at Rapide-Plat in 1757.
