Amos, Administrative center in Abitibi, Canada
Amos sits at the intersection of the Transcontinental Railway and Harricana River, serving as the main municipal center of northwestern Quebec at 310 meters elevation.
The town emerged in 1914 and received its name from Alice Amos, wife of Quebec Premier Sir Lomer Gouin, before becoming chartered as a city in 1925.
The Centre d'exposition presents regular art exhibitions while the Théâtre des Eskers hosts performances throughout the year for the French-speaking community of 12,675 residents.
The municipality provides multiple services including property assessments, permits, sports facilities, library access, and public transportation for its residents.
The area derives its name from an Algonquin term meaning 'place where bark dishes are obtained for cooking,' reflecting its indigenous heritage.
