Magog is a charming city where the Rivière aux Cerises and Magog River meets Lake Memphremagog in southeastern Quebec. It spreads over 144.12 sq km (55.64 sq mi) and has a population of 24,000 people (2012 estimate).

The Magog area was inhabited by indigenous First Nations tribes until the 18th century. Loyalists from Vermont relocated here in 1776 to live under the British Crown when the American Revolutionary War broke out. It was named Magog only in 1855.

Today Magog is a resort town catering to recreational activities. The area is surrounded by picturesque sceneries, and is near Mount Orford.
