Châteauguay

Châteauguay sits at the meeting point of the Châteauguay River and St. Lawrence River, spanning across both waterways in southwestern Quebec.

The Battle of Châteauguay in 1813 marked a crucial moment when British forces under Colonel Charles de Salaberry prevented American troops from advancing toward Montreal.

The municipality maintains a dual linguistic character, with French spoken by 56 percent of residents and English by 29 percent of the population.

The CITSO transit system connects residents to downtown Montreal through multiple bus routes, making daily commutes accessible for the growing population of 50,815.

The territory began as a land grant to Charles Lemoyne during New France, then transformed when Marguerite d'Youville purchased it and built Saint-Joachim Church in 1775.
