Geography

Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot is located between Saint-Hyacinthe and Drummondville and is crossed by the Highway 20 - Jean-Lesage, the village on one side and the land on the other.

Its location allowed, in the 1970s, with the construction of a highway between Montreal and Quebec, to become a stopover village.[6] Several restaurants and service stations are present in this locality of 1500 inhabitants. According to the Ministry of Transport of Quebec, more than 1000 trucks a day stop in this small village.

The municipality was once part of County of Bagot. It is now part of the provincial riding of Johnson.[7]
