Lachute

Named for the falls

Lachute in brief

Lachute lies northwest of Montreal on the Rivière du Nord and seats Argenteuil Regional County Municipality. In the 17th century "La Chute" simply meant the cataract about 24 km upstream from the Ottawa River.

Antoine Brunet was the first francophone to settle briefly in 1753. Vermonters Jedediah Lane and Hezekiah Clark bought and farmed here from 1796, joined by Loyalists. A mill rose in 1804; the railway, wool, and paper mills powered a boom in the 1870s. The Town of Lachute incorporated in 1885.
