Shawinigan-Sud is a predominantly French-speaking settlement in the Mauricie area in Quebec, Canada on the Saint-Maurice River. In 1996, its population was 11,804. 〔( Community Profiles ), Statistics Canada, 1996〕 ==History== Shawinigan-Sud was incorporated as a village in 1912 and was called Almaville until 1948. It developed primarily as a residential hub for Shawinigan. Its status was upgraded from village to town in 1961. Prior to the municipal reorganization in Quebec in 2002, Shawinigan-Sud was a separate municipality in the Le Centre-de-la-Mauricie Regional County Municipality. In January 2002, it was merged into the new City of Shawinigan. In colloquial language, the older and lower section of Shawinigan-Sud, closer to Saint-Maurice River, is called ''Almaville en bas''. The rest of the community, which is built on higher ground, is known as ''Almaville en haut''. National Hockey League player Martin Gélinas grew up in Shawinigan-Sud. 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「Shawinigan-Sud, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
