Terrebonne, Suburban center in Greater Montreal, Canada
Description
Terrebonne is a suburban center in Greater Montreal that stretches along the Rivière des Mille-Îles. The city has three distinct sectors (Lachenaie, La Plaine, and Terrebonne) connected by cycling paths and green spaces throughout.
History
The settlement began in 1720 when Louis Lepage de Ste-Claire acquired the land, and the first church was built in 1734. These early foundations laid the groundwork for the community that eventually grew into today's suburban center.
Culture
The Île-des-Moulins complex showcases historical buildings from the 18th century that tell the story of the mills. You can see the original flour and saw mills that once shaped how people lived and worked here.
Practical
The location is roughly 20 minutes from downtown Montreal with commuter rail service to Montreal Central Station and bus routes serving the area. This proximity makes it convenient for day trips or for residents commuting to the city center.

The area maintains over 90 parks and green spaces offering year-round activities for different seasons. In winter, a skiing facility operates while summer months bring water sports and recreation programs along the waterfront areas.
