Rivière-Rouge
Rivière-Rouge (English translation: Red River) is a city located in Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada. The population as of the Canada 2011 Census was 4,645. The demonym for its inhabitants is ''Riverougeois''.
==History==
As part of the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, the city was created on December 18, 2002 by the amalgamation of the villages of L'Annonciation, La Macaza, Sainte-Véronique, and Canton Marchand. After a referendum in 2004, La Macaza regained its independent status on January 1, 2006 but remains part of the Urban agglomeration of Rivière-Rouge. The urban agglomeration is responsible for managing aspects that are common to all municipalities that were once merged, examples are 911 service, public safety, recycling and many other city functions that were merged into the city. The original villages are now the sectors of L'Annonciation, Marchand, and Sainte-Veronique. Although the city is named Rivière-Rouge, most people still call each town by its historical name.
The city is named for Rouge River that runs through the area. It is a tributary of the Ottawa River (French: ''Rivière des Outaouais''). The region was always known as ''La Vallee de la Rouge'' (English: The Valley of the Red), and the city name was probably chosen for this reason. The now defunct local Air cadet squadron number 883 was also called Rivière-Rouge.
The village of l'Annonciation was created in 1908 from the "Downtown" area of the municipality of Marchand, so in one sense it has been re-absorbed into the whole. The two municipalities had done many things in cooperation prior to the merger.
