Qaqqalik means “the place of many mountains” in Inuktitut.
Salluit meaning « the thin ones” in Inuktitut is located about 10 km from the Hudson Strait. In the 1930s the Hudson Bay Company opened up a trading post in what is present day Salluit. The Government of Canada opened a day school in 1957. As more public services were being delivered, Inuit settled around the small village.
