Brome County, is an historical county of Quebec. It takes its name from the name of a manor in the parish of Barham in Kent, England that was named after the broom plant. It was named by English surveyors to one of the townships that is now in the county. The county was formed in 1855 from parts of Stanstead, Shefford and Missisquoi counties. The county is located in the Eastern Townships, one of the 12 regions of Quebec. The county lies on the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, such that its eastern half is rolling countryside while its western half is part of the Richelieu River plains. The county is roughly an upside down odd "L" shape, bound on the south by the Canadian-American border (along 45 degrees N for 17,5 km from 72 degrees W 15 ' in Lake Memphremagog to 72 degrees W 41,5'), in the east by in part Lake Memphremagog and Stanstead County, in the north by Shefford County (45 degrees N 20' for 48 km from 72 degrees W 15' to 72 degrees W 52') and in the west by Rouville and Missisquoi counties. A small part of the northern border at the county's northeastern corner is the Township of Orford in Sherbrooke County. On the other side of its eastern border and across from Lake Memphremagog in Stanstead County are, from north to south, the full western borders of the Township of Magog and the Township of Stanstead. On the other side of its southern border is the State of Vermont and the full northern borders of the Township of Newport, the Township of Troy and the Township of Jay, all 3 in Orleans County, and most of the northern border of the Township of Richford in [wikipedia: brome county, quebec]
