The name Sacacomie first appeared in writings by Pehr Kalm in 1749, referring to a plant French settlers mixed with their tobacco.
The Abenaki people named this body of water Sagakhimen, which refers to blueberries found in the surrounding area.

Quebec provides varied photographic settings across a province that combines French colonial heritage with extensive natural landscapes. In Quebec City, the stone buildings of Old Quebec, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, and Montmorency Falls with its 83-meter drop form key subjects. The historic Quartier Petit Champlain, Frontenac Staircase, and Grande-Allée display the city's European-influenced architecture, while the Plains of Abraham and Observatoire de la Capitale offer vantage points. Montreal presents different photographic opportunities with Notre-Dame Basilica, Saint Joseph's Oratory on Mount Royal, and contemporary facilities like the Biosphère and Grande Roue. Lachine Canal and street art along Boulevard Saint-Laurent add to urban captures. The Gaspé Peninsula, Jacques-Cartier National Park, Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, and locations like Île d'Orléans and Mont-Tremblant show the province's natural terrain. The Saint Lawrence River connects many of these sites as the primary waterway, from its lower reaches near Rimouski to the riverbanks at Montreal and Quebec City.
