this is incorrect. "secular" parishes are municipal entities based on religious parish limits
Historic [[county|counties]] and [[Territory (country subdivision)|territories]] in [[Quebec]], [[Canada]], followed by their respective county seats are listed below. The list is sorted in alphabetical order by county name.
There is a companion page sorted in alphabetical order by name of county seat: [[List of county seats in Quebec]]. In terms of internal divisions of counties, there are four types of counties:
# those that contain only townships, as is the case with those counties surveyed by the British after 1763;
# those that contain only parishes, as is the case with those counties chiefly in the Saint Lawrence Valley settled by French colonists prior to 1761;
# those that contain both townships and parishes, and
# those that contain townships and undivided lands, as is the case with the northern counties outside the main populated areas of the province.
Parishes as a land unit division arise from the elevation of municipalities based on religious parish limits (parish municipalities). Quebec's counties were dissolved in the early 1980s and Quebec was then divided into [[List of Quebec county regional municipalities|county regional municipalities]].
