Ragueneau is a parish municipality located on Outardes Bay, on the north shore of the maritime estuary of the St. Lawrence River, in Côte-Nord region, Manicouagan RCM, in Quebec, Canada.
The first settlers arrived in 1920, mostly from Saint-Paul-du-Nord, Les Escoumins, and Sainte-Anne-de-Portneuf. That same year, Ragueneau Township was proclaimed and named after Jesuit Paul Ragueneau (1608-1680). In 1926, its post office opened. [1]
Three communities developed concurrently along the shores of the Saint Lawrence: Rivière-à-la-Truite in the north-east, Ruisseau-Vert in the centre, and Ragueneau in the south-west. The main administrative, commercial, cultural, and religious activities concentrated in Ruisseau-Vert, so that over time this community became known as Ragueneau itself. In 1951, the Parish Municipality of Ragueneau was incorporated. [1]
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Ragueneau had a population of 1,314 living in 613 of its 713 total private dwellings, a change of -2.2% from its 2016 population of 1,343. With a land area of 179.83 km2 (69.43 sq mi), it had a population density of 7.3/km2 (18.9/sq mi) in 2021. [3]
