It is also equipped with multiple recreational tourism and heritage facilities. Fans of sports, history and science will therefore be able to discover many centers of interest.
The first city-merger in Quebec was officially created on October 17, 1965. By bringing together eleven municipal corporations spread over a territory of 447.4 km2, the City of Bécancour became the largest city in Quebec in terms of surface area that day. .
Today, the six sectors that make up the urban agglomeration testify, each in their own way, to the history of a region whose economic vocation has rapidly changed from agriculture to heavy industry.
