L'Île-d'Anticosti, Quebec
L'Île d'Anticosti is a municipality in the Minganie Regional County Municipality in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec. Its territory coincides with Anticosti Island, a large island in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Within the municipality, the main populated area is Port-Menier. Officially the municipality was formed first in 1902 when Anticosti Island was separated from the County of Saguenay. But since the entire island was privately owned, there was no elected council to preside over the islanders, who were either servants of the landlord or employees of logging companies.

On January 31, 1984, the first council was finally sworn in. Communities Port-Menier The village of Port-Menier is the hub of the island.
