}}Template:Main other Estrie ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is an administrative region of Quebec that comprises the Eastern Townships. Estrie, a French neologism, was coined as a derivative of est, "east". Originally settled by anglophones, today it is about 90 per cent francophone.<ref name="britannica">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Anglophones are concentrated in Lennoxville, home of the region's only English-speaking university, Bishop's University. The English-language Eastern Townships School Board runs 20 elementary schools, three high schools, and a learning centre.<ref>Elementary schools Template:Webarchive and High Schools Template:Webarchive, Eastern Townships School Board, accessed 19 November 2010.</ref>
The region originally consisted of 6 regional county municipalities. In 2021, La Haute-Yamaska & Brome-Missisquoi joined Estrie, transferring from Montérégie.
EconomyEdit
While the economy of the area is mainly based on agriculture, forestry, and mining,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> tourist attractions include four Sépaq parks: Yamaska, Mont-Orford, Frontenac, and Mont-Mégantic,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> ski resorts at Mont Brome and Mont Orford, and agritourism.
