Laniel is an unorganized territory in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality, Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, Quebec, Canada. It surrounds the northern portion of Lake Kipawa.
Laniel is also a hamlet located within this territory at the outflow of Lake Kipawa where Route 101 crosses the Kipawa River. It was named in honour of priest Armand Laniel (1866-1928).[1] The hamlet used to have a post office that opened in 1934.[4]
In addition to the namesake hamlet, the territory also includes the hamlet of Baie-Dorval (46°59′03″N 79°14′23″W / 46.98417°N 79.23972°W / 46.98417; -79.23972). This hamlet, located on Dorval Bay of Lake Kipawa, was founded in the early 20th century and originally called Baie-Stenhouse, after a forestry entrepreneur in the region. Both the bay and hamlet were renamed in 1989, to honour the first settler family that settled on the bay in 1922.[5]
Until 2005, Laniel and Lacs-du-Témiscamingue unorganized territories were part of the Rivière-Kipawa unorganized territory.[6]
