Area Information
Jonquière was founded in 1847 by Marguerite Belley, who came from La Malbaie to settle on the Rivière aux Sables. It was named after the Marquis de La Jonquière, governor of New France from 1749 to 1752.
Much of Jonquière's development owed its strength to the Price (name on water tower) family, who ran a pulp and paper factory in Kénogami. Arvida is the home of an aluminium plant owned by Rio Tinto Alcan. When the city of Saguenay was constituted on February 18, 2002 by municipal amalgamation, the borough of Jonquière was created from the former city of Jonquière, the former municipality of Shipshaw, and the former municipality of Lac-Kénogami.
