An anniversary to celebrate: 150 years of history
The year 1875 marked the founding of Chelsea, formerly known as the West Part of the Township of Hull. Initially a rural community where a few families settled to make a living from farming and forestry, Chelsea soon took advantage of its proximity to the Gatineau River and the surrounding hills.
Today, 150 years later, Chelsea remains a true jewel of the Collines-de-l'Outaouais. Its vibrant community and exceptional natural heritage make it a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking a harmonious balance between rural and modern.
