La Pocatière, Québec
La Pocatière is one kilometre inland on the south bank of the St Lawrence River, some 70 km west of Rivière-du-Loup.
In 1672, François Pollet de La Combe-Pocatière received the seigneurie de la Grande-Anse as a gift from his father-in-law, Nicholas Juchereau de Saint-Denys. This territory became the parish of Ste-Anne-de-La-Pocatière, and later, the city of La Pocatière.
