Nord-du-Québec Real Estate, Québec

Nord-du-Québec is the largest of the seventeen administrative regions of Québec, Canada. With 839,000 square kilometres (323,940 sq mi), of which 121,000 square kilometres (46,718 sq mi) are lakes and rivers, it covers much of the Labrador Peninsula and about 55% of the total land surface area of Québec. Its land area covers an area larger than the U.S. State of Texas.

Before 1912, the most northernly part of this region was known as the Ungava District of the Northwest Territories, and until 1987, it was referred to as Nouveau-Québec, or New Quebec. It is bordered by Hudson Bay and James Bay in the West, Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay in the North, Labrador in the North-East and the administrative regions of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Mauricie, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Côte-Nord in the South and South-East.

The Nord-du-Québec region is part of the territory covered by the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement of 1975; other regions covered (in part) by this Agreement include the Côte-Nord, Mauricie and Abitibi-Témiscamingue admnistrative regions.
