Coordinates: 48°25′40″N 71°03′33″W / 48.42778°N 71.05917°W Chicoutimi /ʃᵻˈkuːtᵻmi/ is the most populous borough (arrondissement) of the city of Saguenay in Quebec, Canada.
Chicoutimi was founded by European Canadians as a city in 1842 at the confluence of the Saguenay and Chicoutimi rivers. The name Chicoutimi means the end of the deep water in Innu-aimun. During the 20th century, it became the main administrative and commercial centre of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. In 2002 it merged into the new city of Saguenay and forms the heart of the 5th-largest urban area of Quebec province. It is home to the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (Université du Québec à Chicoutimi).
