Trois-Rivières is a city located in Quebec (Canada), at the mouth of the Saint-Maurice River. It is located on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, halfway between Quebec City and Montreal. With its 139,163 inhabitants at the last census in 2021, it is the most populous city in the administrative region of Mauricie, making it the regional capital. Founded in 1634, it is the second oldest city in Quebec. In 2009, the city of Trois-Rivières was designated the cultural capital of Canada.

The name Trois-Rivières, which dates from the end of the 16th century, has been described as a "sham", notably by the French military engineer Louis Franquet: it actually refers to the three channels or branches of the delta that the Saint-Maurice River forms around several islands, including two main ones at its outlet into the Saint-Laurent9, Île La Poterie and Île Saint-Quentin. The city occupies a location known to the French since 1535, when Jacques Cartier, on a voyage along the Saint-Laurent, stopped there to plant a cross on Île Saint-Quentin. However, the name "Trois-Rivières" was not used for the first time until 1599, the year in which François Gravé visited, as recounted by Samuel de Champlain in his Voyages, who confirmed this name in 1603 in his pamphlet entitled "Des Sauvages".
