Abitibi, Regional county municipality in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Canada.
Abitibi spans across 57,736 square kilometers of mixed and boreal forest territories, featuring numerous lakes and municipalities in western Quebec.
The territory became part of Quebec province in 1898 and transformed into a regional county municipality in 1983, marking a new administrative era.
Indigenous Algonquin communities and French-Canadian settlers have shaped the regional identity through generations of resource-based activities and traditions.
The municipality contains 17 active communities, with Amos serving as the administrative center and main service hub for residents.
The region sits atop the mineral-rich Abitibi gold belt, which has generated substantial mining operations since its early development.
