Trois-Rives is a municipality of 675 km², located in Mékinac Regional County Municipality, in the Mid-Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

It is bounded on the west by the Saint-Maurice River, and includes the communities of Grande-Anse, Olscamps, Rivière-Matawin, Saint-Joseph-de-Mékinac and partially Rivière-aux-Rats.[4] The territoiry includes also in East the sectors of: Mékinac lake (in part), "du Missionnaire" (Missionnary lake) (in part), "aux Loutres" and "Dumont". The toponym "Trois-Rives" (three banks) refers to the three rivers draining the territory: Matawin River, Saint-Maurice River and Mékinac River.

History

It was established in 1972 as Boucher, named after the geographic township of Boucher in which it is located. This name was chosen in honour of Pierre Boucher, former French governor of Trois-Rivières and owner of the Boucher and Boucherville Seignories in the late 17th century. It was not until 1978 that the municipal incorporation was confirmed.[3]

On December 26, 1998, the municipality was renamed to Trois-Rives (French for "Three shores") to better represent the territory since it is crossed by three rivers: the Matawin, the Mékinac, and Saint-Maurice.[3]

On August 28, 2004, Trois-Rives was enlarged by some 70 square kilometres (27 sq mi) when it annexed a portion of the Lac-Masketsi Unorganized Territory.
