Chatham, Quebec
Chatham Township was established in 1799, and named after English Statesman William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham (1708-1778). Mostly populated by rich American Loyalists, its post office opened in 1829 and the township municipality was formed in 1845. By the mid-nineteenth century, there were a few hamlets including Dalesville, Brownsbury, and Starneville. Today, Brownsburg-Chatham is a municipality in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, part of the Argenteuil Regional County Municipality. It is located along the Ottawa River, just west of Lachute, and includes the communities of Brownsburg, Cushing, Dalesville, Greece's Point, Pine Hill, and Saint-Philippe.
