Longue-Rive (French pronunciation: [lɔ̃ɡ ʁiv]) is a municipality located on the north shore of the maritime estuary of the St. Lawrence River, in Côte-Nord region, Quebec, Canada.

The municipality includes the communities of Sault-au-Mouton, Baie-des-Bacon, Pointe-à-Boisvert, Rivière-Éperlan and Saint-Paul-du-Nord.

History

On June 2, 1898, the Township Municipality of Saint-Paul de Mille-Vaches was formed when it split off from the Municipality of Escoumains. It changed statutes on July 4, 1931, to become the Municipality of Saint-Paul-du-Nord.

On January 1, 1947, the Village Municipality of Sault-au Mouton was created when it separated from Saint-Paul-du-Nord.

In May 1997, the Village Municipality of Sault-au-Mouton and the Municipality of Saint-Paul-du-Nord were merged into the new Municipality of Saint-Paul-du-Nord–Sault-au-Mouton. The municipal council had 12 months to request for a name change, in consultation with its population. The new name Longue-Rive was chosen out of a list of 10 options through a referendum on May 26, 1998, and approved by the government on September 22, 1998. Longue-Rive (French for "long shore") refers to the municipality's location along the north shore of the maritime estuary of the St. Lawrence River.
