About Buckingham

Buckingham is a town positioned in Western Quebec Outaouais region of the province of Quebec. Since January 1, 2002, it has been part of the amalgamated town of Gatineau which merged 5 former municipalities, which include Masson-Angers, Buckingham, Hull, Aylmer, and Gatineau, right into a single entity. According to the 2011 Census the population of the town changed into 23,589 at that point. It turned into in 1799, that land on this region become granted to John Robertson, a former member of a British regiment.

The first human beings settled in Buckingham in 1823 and the first mill become built. More human beings could circulate to Buckingham in the years that followed. On January 1, 2002, the city of Buckingham with its 12,000 residents became part of the new city of Gatineau. This changed into a part of a large merger motion created by using the Parti Quebecois' Bill 180, which was delivered in 2000 by Municipal Affairs Minister Louise Harel after studies performed through public sellers.

In 2003, the Quebec Liberal Party, with Jean Charest as the leader won the 2003 provincial election and promised a referendum could be held for the possibility of demerging municipalities. The referendum become held on June 20, 2004, but most of the people of the population voted against the demerger and Buckingham hence remained a part of the town of Gatineau.
