Mascouche, Municipality in Les Moulins region, Canada

Mascouche is a city in the Les Moulins region of southern Quebec spanning roughly 107 square kilometers. The area features residential neighborhoods along the Mascouche River, commercial zones, and green spaces.

The municipality received official recognition in 1845 as Saint-Henri-de-Mascouche and gained city status in 1970 under Mayor Gilles Forest. This transformation marked a significant shift in local governance.

The name comes from the Algonquin word "maskutchew", meaning "bear plain", which reflects the indigenous heritage of this region. This origin remains part of the local identity today.

The city connects to Montreal via the Mascouche station on the regional rail network and sits at the junction of Autoroutes 640 and 25. This makes it easy to travel between the city center and surrounding areas.

L'Étang-du-Grand-Coteau park sits centrally along Mascouche Boulevard and provides a calm alternative to busier parts of town. It serves as a gathering spot for residents to enjoy everyday outdoor activities.
