Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t an de mɔ̃]) is a city in La-Haute-Gaspésie Regional County Municipality, Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region, Quebec province, in Canada.[1]

Sainte-Anne-des-Monts is located close to the Chic-Choc Mountains on the south shore of Gulf of St Lawrence. In addition to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts itself, the municipality also encompasses the communities of L'Anse-de-l'Église, L'Anse-Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Mont-Albert, Petit-Tourelle, Ruisseau-à-Patates, and Tourelle.

History

Tidal wave in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts on 23 December 1934

The name of Notre-Dame first appeared on schematic maps in 1709. The official nomenclature came from the seigneurie of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, conceded to Denis Riverin in 1688. The first settlers arrived in 1815 and established small fisheries. The place was incorporated as a municipality in 1855. The city was a centre for pilgrimage at the beginning of the twentieth century.[citation needed] It was partially destroyed by fire in 1915.[1]

In 1968, Sainte-Anne-des-Monts gained city status. On February 2, 2000, the City of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts and the Municipality of Tourelle were merged to form the new City of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts–Tourelle. It was given its current name on February 10, 2001.[1]

Economy

Tourism and fishing are the local industries. Exploramer is an activity complex on the Saint-Lawrence River aquatic fauna where you can see an aquarium offering 21 tanks which contain fish, marine organisms, a thematic exhibition about the sea, offshore excursions, and many more cultural events.

On the other side of the mountains, the National Park of Gaspésie provides access to the McGerrigle and Chic-Chocs mountains. They offer a panoramic photographic opportunity to admire the apex of Mont-Jacques-Cartier, the second highest summit in Québec.
