Rock Forest (2006 population 20,693) is located on the Magog River. Its population increased 10.9 percent from 2001 to 2006. The site was first populated by English, Scottish and Irishimmigrants during the 19th century, and was given the name "Drop Off" from the spot on the Magog River where a first wooden bridge was built. The name Rock Forest was first used in the 1870s, although it did not become official until the 1920s. It came from the name of the large castle-like residence of one Parker Nagle.
