Bristol, Quebec is a municipality tucked into the Pontiac region along the scenic Ottawa River. First carved out as a township in 1834 and established in 1855, it grew around logging, farming, and even iron-mining—Quebec’s first iron-pellet plant operated here until the mid‑1970s
Today, Bristol covers over 200 km² of small villages, cottages, and farms. The landscape blends fertile fields, rolling woodlots, and stands of century-old forest.
