Baie-Comeau

Baie-Comeau straddles the mouth of the Rivière aux Anglais on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, a position that has tied the city to shipping, forestry and hydroelectric development. Founded in 1936 as a company town for a paper mill backed by Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, it grew around an industrial waterfront and port. The wider Manicouagan area is closely associated with Hydro-Québec’s Manic-Outardes generating complex, including the Daniel-Johnson Dam on the Manicouagan River. Between boreal forest and the broad St. Lawrence shore, Baie-Comeau has the working character of a northern regional centre.
