Named after the chief of the Iroquoian village of Stadaconé, Donnacona is a thriving territory that reflects a rich heritage, where tradition and modernity come together in a breathtaking setting. Its location near Quebec City, along the Chemin du Roy (King’s Road), makes it an ideal destination for tourists seeking history, nature and exceptional landscapes.
Donnacona’s urban development was largely based on industrialization, particularly with the creation of the Donnacona Paper Ltd in 1912, which supplied The New York Times. Although closed since 2008, this paper mill remains a key milestone in the region’s history, having employed more than 1,500 full-time workers for several years and significantly contributing to the local economy.
Today, the city of Donnacona offers a tempting range of tourist attractions, featuring the Parc familial des Berges park, the Club de golf Donnacona golf club, the Les Écureuils wharf, Old Donnacona, the Blues Festival, as well as numerous lodging and dining options to explore. Set your sights on this remarkable territory for an unforgettable experience!
