Chandler

The port of Chandler was founded in 1912 when Percy Milton Chandler, a Philadelphia manufacturer, built the first pulp and paper mill in the Gaspésie at the site. This village of about 3500 is the birthplace of NHL player Mathieu Garon. It is located at 48°20'N latitude, 64°40' longitude. Its elevation is 25 feet. Chandler's major industries include fishing, manufacturing pulp and paper products, and shipping from the large deep-water wharf.
