Longueuil, Urban settlement in Greater Montreal, Canada
Longueuil spans across the southern shore of the Saint Lawrence River, containing three main districts: Le Vieux-Longueuil, Greenfield Park, and Saint-Hubert.
Charles Le Moyne established this settlement in 1657, receiving land grants and seigneurial titles that formed the foundation of present-day Longueuil.
The territory incorporates influences from French colonial heritage, marked by the preservation of historical structures and traditional Quebec architectural elements.
The city functions as a major transportation hub within Greater Montreal, connecting to downtown Montreal through the Longueuil-Université-de-Sherbrooke metro station.
During his early career, founder Charles Le Moyne worked as an interpreter between French settlers and Indigenous peoples, gaining knowledge of local languages.
