Ragueneau, Quebec

Ragueneau (French pronunciation: [ʁaɡno]) is a parish municipality located on Outardes Bay, on the north shore of the maritime estuary of the St. Lawrence River, in Côte-Nord region, Manicouagan RCM, in Quebec, Canada.

The first settlers arrived in 1920, mostly from Saint-Paul-du-Nord, Les Escoumins, and Sainte-Anne-de-Portneuf.

[1] Three communities developed concurrently along the shores of the Saint Lawrence: Rivière-à-la-Truite in the north-east, Ruisseau-Vert in the centre, and Ragueneau in the south-west.

The main administrative, commercial, cultural, and religious activities concentrated in Ruisseau-Vert, so that over time this community became known as Ragueneau itself.

In 1951, the Parish Municipality of Ragueneau was incorporated.
