Stanhope is a Canadian village and community of Coaticook, Coaticook RCM, in the Estrie region of Quebec. Its population is less than 200 residents.

History

The village was a separate community in the 1890s which later became part of Coaticook municipality.

Geography

Located on the Canada–United States border, in front of the town of Norton (Essex County, Vermont); Stanhope spans its residential area on a main road west of the Coaticook River, nearby the Montreal-Sherbrooke-Portland rail.[2] To the east is located the now defunct Stanhope Airport and, on the Quebec Route 147, the border control station.[3]

The village is 6 km far from Dixville, 14 from Coaticook, 24 from Canaan (Vermont), 27 from Stewartstown (New Hampshire), 30 from Brighton (Vermont) and 50 from Sherbrooke.
