Dewittville is a small community situated on the Châteauguay River in southern Quebec, Canada, between the towns of Huntingdon and Ormstown, approximately 70 km south-west of Montreal.[1]
In 1829, Jacob De Witt acquired a sawmill and 130 acres (53 ha) of land at Portage, which was later renamed to Dewittville.[2] The old grist mill, dam, and Châteauguay River are notable attractions.[3]
