Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Residential city in central Quebec, Canada.

Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures extends over 85.8 square kilometers along the Saint Lawrence River, adjacent to Quebec City, with numerous residential neighborhoods and parks.

The settlement originated in 1691 when three pioneering families - Desroches, Racette, and Couture - established their homes in this territory near the Saint Lawrence River.

French remains the primary language of communication for 97.5 percent of the population, reflecting the strong Quebec heritage in this suburban community.

The city maintains independent administrative services since 2006, managing local affairs separately from Quebec City while providing essential municipal functions to 19,907 residents.

The municipality experienced a notable political transformation, joining Quebec City in 2002 before regaining independent city status through a 2004 referendum.
