Geography

The riding has always been centred on the city (now borough) of Chicoutimi, Quebec. When it was created, the riding consisted of Chicoutimi County until 1947, when the western half of the riding became the new riding of Lapointe. The 1976 redistribution removed all of the riding's territory north of the Saguenay River. This territory was added back to the riding in the 2003 redistribution. This riding lost some territory to Jonquière during the 2012 electoral redistribution, including much of the area north of the Saguenay River again.
