Saguenay, Regional administrative center in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Canada.
Saguenay extends along both banks of the Saguenay River, containing three main districts: Chicoutimi, Jonquière, and La Baie, surrounded by forests and mountains.
The city formed in 2002 through the merger of Chicoutimi, Jonquière, and La Baie, with Chicoutimi originally established as a French trading post in 1676.
The University of Quebec at Chicoutimi functions as an educational center that contributes to research in aluminum production, forest management, and genomics studies.
The municipal administration maintains extensive public transportation routes connecting all districts, with regular service between commercial and residential areas throughout the year.
The city operates North America's largest aluminum production facility, utilizing hydroelectric power from the Saguenay River to support industrial operations.
