Chicoutimi is one of the three boroughs of Saguenay, in Quebec. It was a separate city until 2002, when it was annexed into Saguenay. It has a population of 59,764 people during the 2001 census, the last time it was counted as a separate city.

Chicoutimi dates back to 1676 when French fur traders set up an outpost there. It was incorporated as a city in 1842. The city only began to develop rapidly after 1893, following the completion of a railway line linking it to Roberval. This allowed the transporation of pulp produced by Chicoutimi.

In 1976, Chicoutimi annexed its neighboring towns of Chicoutimi-Nord and Rivière-du-Moulin. Then in 2002, Chicoutimi itself along with Jonquière and La Baie among others, were annexed to Saguenay, becoming one of the three boroughs of the city.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
