Shipshaw, Administrative sector in Jonquière, Canada.
The administrative sector of Shipshaw spans 48 square kilometers divided into two distinct areas: Du Rivage Sector and River Sector.
The territory was first explored by Euro-Canadians in 1842, with the first settlers establishing their presence in the area by 1888.
The name Shipshaw originates from the Montagnais language, translating to 'enclosed river' in reference to the local waterway.
The population center maintains direct road connections to neighboring municipalities, facilitating travel between Saint-Ambroise and Jonquière.
A landslide event on May 4, 1971 led to the closure of Saint-Jean-Vianney village, which was later incorporated into Shipshaw.
