'''Chicoutimi''' is a city in [[Quebec]], [[Canada]]. The name comes from Shkoutimeou, which means "the end of the deep water" in the Montagnais language, one of the [[Algonquian languages]]. Located 225 kilometres north of Quebec City, it is home to part of the [[Université du Québec à Chicoutimi|Université du Québec]]. Until 2002 it was a separate city, and is now a part of [[Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean|Saguenay]]

==History==
The first people to live in the city were [[France|French]] fur traders who arrived in 1676. It became a city in 1842 by Peter McLeod. A railway was built between the city and [[Roberval, Quebec|Roberval]] in 1893, which helped make Chicoutimi a bigger city at the end of the [[19th century]], based on industry and [[pulp (paper)|pulp]].

==Sports==
The [[Chicoutimi Saguenéens]], a team in the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]], have been in the city since 1973. They play at the [[Centre Georges-Vézina]].
