[edit] Population
As of the 2001 census, the population amounted to 97,766, slightly more than 1% of the province's population, spread across 25 municipalities. Baie-Comeau and Sept-Îles combined amounts for a little more than half of the population.
[edit] Geography and economy
Côte-Nord was once part of Labrador and was created as an administrative region in 1966. The region's economy is based on mining (mostly iron), lumbering, aluminium production, and tourism.
Important landmarks of Côte-Nord include Anticosti Island and the Mingan Archipelago.
