History


According to the analysis of artifacts found along the Petit Saguenay River, the Aboriginal presence in this area dates back to at least 1000 BC. In the twentieth century, Amerindians and Métis frequented the valley of the Petit Saguenay River for hunting and fishing[5]

During the first attempts at colonization at the mouth of the Petit Saguenay River, Métis families lived in this area. In 1844, the workers of the team who built the first mill at the mouth of this river, reported that the Métis Charles Bernier (husband of Osithe Landry) was part of the workers. Following the abandonment of the mill, this half-breed will be the first to settle with his family in the "Le Cabanage" area. This Amerindian and Métis presence was observed until the 1920s at Anse de Petit-Saguenay and in the Cabanage sector.[6]


Toponymy


The name "Cabanage river" is a derivative of the term Cabanagem which refers to a type of hut used by poor people mainly the half-breeds, freed slaves and indigenous peoples.

The toponym "Rivière du Cabanage" was officialized on December 5, 1968, at the Bank of Place Names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
