Where is Sillery, Québec, Canada?

Sillery is a former city in central Quebec, Canada. Located just west of old Quebec City, Sillery was among the many outlying municipalities amalgamated into an expanded Quebec City on January 1, 2002. Its former territory now forms part of the new Borough of Sainte-Foy—Sillery (Population (2001): 11,909). The name Sillery is still used to refer to the affluent neighbourhood. Of the former municipalities that comprise Quebec City, Sillery is the most allophone (5%) the second-most anglophone (4%), and the second-least francophone (91%), making it relatively linguistically diverse within a city that is 97% French-speaking.

Events/Places of Interest

1634   "Sillery, (Quebec) became the first Indian reservation in Canada funded by (I)-Noel Brulart de Sillary (1577-1640), but it failed by 1680 due to alcoholism, epidemic and difficulties adapting to a sedentary existence. The French are hoping the savages will give up their culture, religion and way of life to become 'civilized' farmers. It is noteworthy that these savages have been farming for over 5,000 years and have developed over 55% of all known food crops in the world. They also showed the French how to farm in Canada.

NO BLACK FEVER IN SILLERY   QUEBEC, Dec. 7. - There is no truth to the rumors of a plague at Sillery. The deaths referred to in last night's dispatches were from typhoid fever. Date: December 08, 1879 Location: New York Paper: New York Herald-Tribune

The First Canadian Novelist   Mr. J. M. Le Moine, the Canadian litterateur, says that "The History of Emily Montague," published in London by Dodsley, in 1769, was the earliest novel written in Canada, and Sillery, Quebec, where it was written, can therefore claim to be the cradle of Canadian literature. Frances Brooke (nee Frances Moore), authoress, was the wife of the Rev. John Brooke, military chaplain at Quebec. The heroine - the accomplished Emily Montague - discourses so eloquently on the charms of Canadian scenery and social amusements at Quebec, that several English families, it is said, sought in consequence a home on the shores of the St. Lawrence. Of this first Canadian novelist our contemporary recalls an anecdote. The evening before she left England with her husband for Canada, she gave a farewell party. Miss Hannah More, Miss Seward, Mr. Keate, Dr. Johnson and Mr. Boswell were among the visitors. As Dr. Johnson was obliged to take his leave early, he rose, and, wishing her health and happiness, went seemingly away. In a few minutes a servant came to acquaint Mrs. Brooke that a gentleman in the parlor wished to speak with her. She accordingly went down stairs, and who should it be but Dr. Johnson! "Madame," said the Doctor, "I sent for you down stairs that I might kiss you, which I did not choose do do before so much company." - Canadian Gazette Date: January 26, 1896 Location: Massachusetts Paper: Worcester Daily Spy

I lived in Sillery in the early 50's and loved the place. My Dad Reginald and his family lived in Sillery not far from the St Lawrence river. My Dad and some of his siblings and my paternal grandparents are buried in the former St Colombe cemetery now known as St. Michel cemetery on what is now known as Rene Levesque blvd. Had the pleasure of visiting the area in August 2011. windsordwl@gmail.com 4/29/2012 3:39:22 PM
