Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Administrative region in western Quebec, Canada.

The territory spans 57,337 square kilometers of forests and lakes, containing five regional municipalities including Rouyn-Noranda, La Vallée-de-l'Or, and Témiscamingue.

Fort Témiscamingue, established in 1720, served as a central trading post for fur commerce between European settlers and indigenous communities.

The region maintains strong connections to Algonquin heritage through traditional territories, while supporting modern artistic expression through music festivals and cultural centers.

The region operates multiple regional airports and extensive highway networks, connecting major centers like Val-d'Or, Amos, and Rouyn-Noranda to other Quebec destinations.

The Cadillac Fault geological formation contains rich mineral deposits that support numerous underground mines, contributing substantially to Quebec's gold production.
