La Corne is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec in Abitibi Regional County Municipality. The place is named in honour of Louis de La Corne (1703–1761), a French naval officer who was wounded in the Battle of Sainte-Foy in 1760. Until 1978, the place name was incorrectly spelled as Lacorne.〔 From 1955 to 1965, La Corne was home to Canada's only lithium mine. The underground mine had a deep shaft and lateral workings on three levels, and provided lithium to the glass and ceramics industries. With the advent of lithium batteries for electric cars and a myriad of consumer electronic products, the mine is currently being studied for reopening in late 2012 as an open-pit mine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quebec Lithium Project )〕 ==Demographics== Population trend:〔Statistics Canada: 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011 census〕 * Population in 2011: 700 (2006 to 2011 population change: 2.6%) * Population in 2006: 682 * Population in 2001: 629 * Population in 1996: 621 * Population in 1991: 616 Private dwellings occupied by usual residents: 283 (total dwellings: 404) Mother tongue: * English as first language: 1.5% * French as first language: 98.5% * English and French as first language: 0% * Other as first language: 0% 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Corne, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
