Egan-Sud is a municipality in the La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada, directly north of Maniwaki.
It has a residential, agricultural, and commercial character, the last of which mainly concentrated along Highway 105.[1]
In the winter, Evens Lake is home to the largest ice rink built by the MRC, having a circular route of about 1.2km (00.7miles) long.[1]
Settlement in this area by Europeans began in the mid-nineteenth century. By 1863, there was a population of 140 people, most of Irish origin and almost all Catholics. In 1864, the Egan Township was proclaimed, named in memory of John Egan (1811-1857), an Irish immigrant, owner of large logging concessions in the Outaouais, and holder of several political offices. In 1881, the Municipality Township of Egan was formed, with Patrick Moore as first mayor who served until 1902.[2] [3]
In 1920, Egan Township was split up into the municipalities of Egan-Sud, Bois-Franc, and Montcerf (now Montcerf-Lytton).[2] The first mayor of Egan-Sud was James Millar.[3]
The language statistics are as follows (as of the 2021 Census):[4] 88% of Egan-Sud speak French as their first language, 6% speak English as their first language, 4% speak both French and English as a first language and 1% have a different first language.
