城市概覽

Geography This Haute-Mauricie reserve is bounded on the west and south by the Saint-Maurice River. The boundary on the east side is 3.8 km (2.4 mi) long; on the north side, its boundary extends 7.8 km (4.8 mi). From Wemotaci, the forest road along the Saint-Maurice river on the east bank leads north to the Jolie River. On the west bank, the forest road RO-450 provides access to La Loutre dam and Gouin dam. The Chute-Allard generating station was erected at 4.5 km (2.8 mi) downstream from the Weymont railway station, in the east of the territory of Wemotaci. In short, Wemotaci turns out to be a small detour of 3.2 km (2.0 mi) from the bridge spanning the Manouane River (just upstream of the confluence of the Blanche river), for travelers on the RO-461 (25) road which connects La Tuque to Wemotaci and those on the RO forest road 451(25) which links Wemotaci to Parent. The Saint-Maurice, with its 587 km (365 mi) long watershed, is the main river in the Mauritius region. The Manouane River meets the Saint-Maurice River, in Sanmaur, that is to say just upstream from the village of Wemotaci.

History Some sources indicate that the Compagnie du Nord-Ouest would have established a trading post there between 1770 and 1780, in order to trade with the community who then practised intensely hunting and the Peach. Nevertheless, the first known fur trading post at Wemotaci was established in 1806 by Jean-Baptiste Perrault; he made the first milking arrangements. This post was taken over by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821. In 1851, the government promulgated the creation of a reserve at Wemotaci for the use and benefit of Indigenous communities, with the allocation of 230,000 acres (93,000 hectares). In 1853, this territory was divided between the Atikamekw, Algonquins and Abenaki. The cadastralization of the territory of the reserve took place in 1895. The construction of the railway by the National Transcontinental Railway and of the Centrale de la Chute-Allard on the Saint
