Description Historian Gilles Janson states that a Franco-American immigrant from
Marlboro, Massachusetts, helped to transplant baseball to rural Quebec upon return to
Trois-Rivières in 1884. The Fernand Bedard Museum dates 1884 as the start of baseball in Trois-Rivieres.

The city had 8.670 residents in 1881.
