Area information
Chicoutimi is the most populous borough of the city of Saguenay in Quebec, Canada. It is situated at the confluence of the Saguenay and Chicoutimi rivers. During the 20th century, it became the main administrative and commercial centre of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.
The city of Chicoutimi was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1845 by Peter McLeod. With the arrival of the Canadian National Railway in 1893, the local pulp and paper industries expanded, particularly in mechanical pulp production. The Chicoutimi Pulp Co. was founded in 1896 and by 1910 the Chicoutimi Pulp Mill became the biggest producer of mechanical pulp in Canada. Chicoutimi WW II war ship
