Sherbrooke is town in the Administrative Region of the Eastern Township (Estrie) in Quebec, Canada. The town developed in the early 19th century as a typical industrial town as manufacturers were attracted by the hydraulic power of the local rivers. Originally at majority anglophones (with its typical architecture), the town is now primarily a French-speaking city with a huge concentration of students frequenting the local colleges and two universities (Universite de Sherbrooke and Bishop's University).

Sherbrooke, the most important town located south of the St-Lawrence river and main service to the township, is situated in the heart of the Northern Appalachian ridge in the Magog River Vallee.
