Chevery
Chevery is an unconstituted locality within the municipality of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada. Chevery is the administrative centre of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent municipality, located at the mouth of the Nétagamiou River. Previously known as Netagamu River, the place was renamed in 1971 after captain Jean-Baptiste Chevery who in 1747 sailed along the coast visiting numerous posts. Chevery was the site of an early French fur trading post in the mid-17th century, but after that fort was abandoned, there was no further development on the site until the 1930s, when an experimental farm was established on the Cross River by William Anderson. Residents of several isolated communities in the area, including Gull Cliff Island and Aylmer Sound, subsequently moved to Chevery due to the need for improved access to government services. The community of Chevery on the Gulf Saint Lawrence has a network of inland wetlands, forest and tundra. From Chevery, one can access trails and beaches through the northern landscape of the MRC du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent. Chevery is known for the Netagamiou River and its 50 foot high falls that can be accessed from the Bob Nunez Misty River Trail. Another renowned natural feature at the western end of Chevery is the "Sterant Island" Tern Colony.…
