Causapscal
Causapscal (; ) is a city in the Provinces and territories of Canada, Canadian province of Quebec, located in La Matapédia Regional County Municipality. It is located at the confluence of the Matapédia River, Matapédia and Causapscal Rivers, along Quebec Route 132, approximately halfway between Mont-Joli, Quebec, Mont-Joli and Campbellton, New Brunswick. It is served by the Causapscal railway station (the town can be reached by Via Rail on the named train The Ocean, between Montreal and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Halifax) and the Causapscal Airport. The city's name is taken from the geographic township of Casupscull (proclaimed in 1864), which in turn is derived from the Mi'kmaq language, Mi'kmaq word ''Goesôpsiag'' (or ''Gesapsgel, Gesôpsgigel''), meaning "stony bottom", "swift water", or "rocky point", likely referring to the rocky river bed of the Causapscal River.

Amqui
Amqui (; ) is a town in eastern Quebec, Canada, at the base of the Gaspé peninsula in Bas-Saint-Laurent. Located at the confluence of the Humqui and Matapédia Rivers, it is the seat of La Matapédia Regional County Municipality. The main access road is Quebec Route 132. The Mi'kmaq word ''amgoig'', also written ''humqui'', ''unkoui'' and ''ankwi'', means "the place to have fun", "half wall" or "place of amusement and pleasure." Another Mi'kmaq name for the area is ''Amkooĭk'' or ''Mkooögwĭk'' which aptly describes the area as "boggy." One source postulates that its name comes from the swirling water at the junction of the Humqui and Matapédia rivers. However, the most plausible explanation appears to be more pragmatic: Amqui was formerly a place where Amerindians gathered for pow wows. History Originally Mi'kmaq territory, the area was granted as a seignory by Louis de Buade de Frontenac to Charles-Nicolas-Joseph D'Amours in 1694. D'Amours died in 1728 and none of his ...
