About
Saint-Quentin Island (French: Île Saint-Quentin, pronounced [il sɛ̃ kɑ̃tɛ̃]) lies at the confluence of the Saint-Maurice River and Saint Lawrence River in the city of Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. The island, along with Saint-Christophe and De La Poterie islands, are each named after one of the three channels formed by the Saint-Maurice River at its mouth with the St. Lawrence, where it flows between two islands.
It owes its name to judge Quentin Moral, known as "Saint-Quentin", who was a fur trader and one of the first dealers on this island. It is now a center of popular outdoor activities and leisure at the hearth of city. The patron saint of the island is Quentin de Rome.
