Les Escoumins, Quebec
Les Escoumins is a municipality in La Haute-Côte-Nord Regional County Municipality in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec. It is located on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River.
Its economy is mostly based on the service sectors, especially education, health, and tourism. It is accessible via Route 138; a ferry service runs between Les Escoumins and Trois-Pistoles.
==Etymology==
Its name has traditionally been recognized to come from the Montagnais ''iskomin'', meaning "where there are many seeds" or "there are fruits or seeds", in turn from the roots ''isko'' or ''ishko'' ("as far as this/that") and ''min'' (red seeds, or wild berries in general). According to more recent theory, it could also be a variation of the Mi'kmaq term ''eskumunaak'', meaning "lookout place". In addition, other sources say that the place is named ''Essipit'' in Montagnais, meaning "river of shells".
Several spellings have been used over the centuries such as ''Uscamin, Les Escoumains, Essuie-Mains, L'Esquemin, Lesquemin, Leschemin'' (Champlain, 1629), ''L'Esquemain'', and ''Lesquemain'' (1611 map of Champlain and other texts of 1626). The oldest reference to this name dates back to the map of Levasseur of 1601, that shows ''Escanimes''; and to a contract of 1604 that included the rare spelling ''Esguenim''.〔
