Bedford's already got a lot of history and elements that make it a staple of the Eastern Townships, but waves of people are coming in with new aims and ideas to drive the city’s development and longevity, and make it a radiant place.
Located in the southwestern portion of Brome-Missisquoi, it seems only fitting that Bedford was the region’s kick-off to a tremendous industrial development back in 1804, transforming the town into a major commercial hub—a reputation being carried on by passionate entrepreneurs setting up shop on its streets and building relationships with longtime residents.
