Dorval, Suburban municipality in Greater Montreal, Canada

Dorval extends along Lac Saint-Louis on Montreal Island, encompassing residential areas, commercial districts, and Montreal International Airport within its boundaries.

The territory originated as a French settlement in 1667 when Sulpician priests established a fort and mission, later taking the name from landowner Jean-Baptiste Bouchard.

The municipality maintains a dual linguistic character, with English and French languages equally represented in public services, streets, and community activities.

Montreal International Airport occupies 60 percent of Dorval's territory, connecting the region to global destinations through multiple terminals and transportation networks.

The Grand Trunk Railway's arrival in 1855 transformed Dorval from a rural settlement into a summer destination for Montreal's urban residents.
