Sept-Îles
Seven islands, iron rails
Sept-Îles in brief
Sept-Îles ("Seven Islands") is a Côte-Nord city the Innu know as Uashat, "bay." Jacques Cartier recorded the round isles in 1535; Jean de Quen opened a mission in 1650, and fur posts followed under French and later Hudson's Bay Company hands.
The modern city incorporated in 1951 as the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway linked Schefferville's iron ore to the harbour. That rail-and-ore boom still shapes one of Quebec's northernmost paved road towns.
