Longueuil

Seigneurie across from Montreal

Longueuil in brief

Longueuil sits on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence directly opposite Montreal and seats Montérégie. Charles Le Moyne founded it as a seigneurie in 1657, reportedly naming it after Longueil in his native Normandy.

His son built stone Fort Longueuil between 1685 and 1690; its remains under today's cathedral are a National Historic Site. Parish, village, town, and city status stacked up from 1845 to 1920, and later mergers made Longueuil Montreal's second-largest suburb.
