Grande-Baie, Administrative sector in La Baie, Canada.
Grande-Baie sits where Ha! Ha! Bay meets Mars River and forms part of Saguenay municipality in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. This sector includes waterfront areas and the residential neighborhoods that make up the La Baie borough.
The settlement began in 1838 when the Société des Vingt et un established a community based on fishing and logging. These early economic activities shaped the region's development for generations.
The Monument of the Twenty-One marks the founders who established this French-speaking settlement. This memorial remains central to how locals understand their community's roots and identity.
This sector connects to other parts of Saguenay through provincial highways and offers essential municipal services within its borough administration. Getting around the district is straightforward thanks to these road connections.
The area went through major changes in 1976 when it merged with Port-Alfred and Bagotville to form La Baie. This joining of separate communities became a turning point in how the place developed afterward.
