Larouche, Quebec

Larouche (French pronunciation: [laʁuʃ]) is a municipality in Quebec, Canada, part of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality.

It is located along Quebec Route 170 between Saguenay and Saint-Bruno, just south of the Saguenay River.

In the early 1910s, several families settled in the area.

In 1911, the settlement got its post office and in 1922, the Parish Municipality of Larouche was incorporated, named after William Larouche (1835–1917), a pioneer who was among the area's first settlers.
