Toponymy
The Commission de toponymie du Québec writes about it: “The name of this municipality of Saguenay, officially created in 1974, was borrowed from the river that flows there. However, the reason for the designation of this tributary of the Saguenay River, collected between Cape Éternité and Cape Trinité, is unknown. Without doubt, the proximity of Cape Eternity, which evokes the beyond, played a role in the choice of this name which alludes to the absence of beginning and end of the existence of God. Before making us think of the beyond, the term evokes a very long duration. "
She continues: “The landscapes seem to have been fixed there forever and forever, majestically. This name, in addition to identifying the post office established in 1933 and the parish of Notre-Dame-de-l'Éternité erected canonically in 1967, covers the municipality located between Saint-Félix-d'Otis and L'Anse-Saint-Jean. It is the gateway to Saguenay National Park. The presence of water and impressive capes gives the eternity decor a magnificent magnificence in accordance with the extent of the territory which occupies an area of almost 500 km². The specific Eternity appears in documents written since at least 1824, according to the captain Louis Sivrac, and Arthur Buies indicates the cap Éternité, in 1880.[5] "
