The municipality of the Township of Gore was founded in 1840. This small
township was formerly considered to be mainly a vacation area, but
gradually it has become an excellent place to live on a permanent basis.
Our permanent population is steadily increasing and sits now at 1965
persons. The seasonal population is estimated at over 4000. Gore is the
municipality with the highest growing rate in the MRC of Argenteuil.
Our forests, waterways, wetlands, and abundant fauna and flora are the
key to what makes our municipality so beautiful. Much of our forestry
cover is composed of mature trees from 50 to 70 years old, and includes
many species such as birch, poplar, sugar maple, white pine, spruce,
balsam, hemlock, cedar and beech. These diverse features fashion the
richness and beauty of an area that has preserved its natural
environment while developing as a residential and recreational treasure
to be discovered ... and all this only 50 minutes from Montrea
