Disraeli, a town in Wolfe county, Quebec, on Aylmer lake, and on the Quebec Central Railway, 50 miles north of Sherbrooke. It was named in honour of Benjamin Disraeli, afterwards Lord Beaconsfield, prime minister of Great Britain (1868-81). It is largely an industrial town, but Aylmer lake attracts also tourists and summer visitors.
