region Arundel

Arundel township is located 18 kilometers (11 mi) south of Mont Tremblant. Arundel was settled by Scottish and Irish immigrants in the mid 1800s who established subsistence farming operations and worked the forests in winter.

Stephen Jakes Beaven was the first European man who lived here by hunting, trapping, and trading with the Indians for so long he was thought to be one of them. In 1822 he built a shanty where Beaven Creek enters the Rouge as a trading post. In 1857 Sydney Bellingham named the Township in honour of the Norfolk family estate in Arundel, Sussex, England. The first actual settler was William Thomson from Glasgow, Scotland who arrived in March 1857. By 1879 there were 169 ratepayers in Arundel.

Today most of the land is reserved for agricultural use despite strong growth in the region. Much of Arundel borders the Rouge River.
