Jonquière itself was the result of the agglomeration of three cities: Kénogami, Jonquière and Arvida.
Much of Jonquière's development owed its strength to the Price family who ran a pulp and paper[?] factory in Kénogami. Today that pulp and paper factory is owned by Abitibi-Consolidated. Arvida is the home of an aluminum plant owned by ALCAN.
