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.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
