Bowman is a village and municipality in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Laurentian Hills, km to mi|72 north-east of Hull.

Geography

The municipality is bordered to the east by the Du Lièvre River and by Whitefish Lake ("lac du Poisson Blanc") in the north-west. Its terrain is characterized by several deep lakes (including Reservoir l'Escalier) in a hilly terrain with altitudes between m to ft|200|precision=-1 and m to ft|430|precision=-1.cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/topos/carto.asp?Speci=7928&Latitude=45,91666&Longitude=-75,66666&Zoom=1700 |title=Bowman (canton) |accessdate=2008-10-07 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French]

History

Bowman Township was formed in 1861 and named after one of the first inhabitants of this place, Baxter Bowman, who operated a sawmill at Dufferin Chutes in Buckingham and was owner of a large tract of forest in the Outaouais in the late nineteenth century.cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/topos/carto.asp?Speci=7930&Latitude=45,91666&Longitude=-75,66666&Zoom=1700 |title=Bowman (Municipalité) |accessdate=2008-10-07 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French]

On 1 January 1885, Bowman was combined with Villeneuve Township to form the United Township Municipality of Bowman-et-Villeneuve. In 1913, the Township Municipality of Bowman was formed when the two townships separated (Villeneuve is known as Val-des-Bois), and in 1954, its statutes were amended again to become the Municipality of Bowman.
