For other uses of the name Elgin, please see Elgin (disambiguation)
Elgin is a rural community of less than 500 people in Quebec, Canada. It is located southwest of Huntingdon and bounded by the Trout and Chateauguay rivers and the Québec - US border. Its small fields and many stone houses attest to the first Scottish settlers who began arriving in the early 1800s.
The Municipality of the Township of Elgin was formed in 1855, with the present town hall being built in 1869. The councillors and people of Elgin continue to value and protect their 'forgotten corner of Québec, with its history, quiet roads, forests and rivers.
