Contents

It was created for the 1948 election under the name Saguenay from part of the former Charlevoix–Saguenay electoral district. The predecessor to Charlevoix-Saguenay (before 1912) was Chicoutimi-Saguenay. Despite its former name, the district has not included the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region since at least the 1994 election.

It was renamed René-Lévesque for the 2003 election, after former Quebec Premier René Lévesque, although its territory was unchanged. It remained unchanged after the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map.
