History
The agglomeration of La Tuque succeeded to the regional county municipality of Haut-Saint-Maurice. The latter was created in 1982 from part of the County's of Champlain, of Quebec of Saint-Maurice and of Abitibi. Le Haut-Saint-Maurice was dissolved during the merger of all municipalities in 2003 to create the city of La Tuque. Following the referendum on recreating La Bostonnais and Lac-Édouard, the agglomeration of La Tuque was created to allow municipalities to manage in common some competencies.
