Rimouski

Town in Rimouski-Neigette County, southeast Québec, Canada; population (1991) 30,900. It is located 310 km/190 mi northeast of Québec City, on the south shore of the St Lawrence River. With a deepwater port, it is a transport, service, and educational centre for the region. Local industries process foods, lumber, and pulpwood, and make mattresses, carpeting, leather, and shoes. The Collège de Rimouski (1855), the Collège des Ursulines (1906), and a centre for oceanographic research are among local institutions. The city was largely rebuilt after a 1950 fire.
