Montérégie, Administrative region south of Montreal, Canada

Montérégie spans over 11,000 square kilometers along the Saint Lawrence River, encompassing fertile agricultural lands, mountains, and numerous municipalities between Montreal and the US border.

The region received its name from geologist Frank Dawson Adams in 1903, referencing the chain of isolated hills formed by ancient volcanic intrusions in the St Lawrence Plain.

The territory includes two Mohawk reserves, Kahnawake and Akwesasne, which maintain their traditional customs while contributing to the region's multicultural landscape.

The regional capital Longueuil connects to Montreal via multiple bridges and tunnels, serving as a major transportation hub for over 1.5 million inhabitants.

Montérégie produces 30% of Quebec's agricultural output, with extensive apple orchards, maple groves, and vineyards spread across its fertile agricultural territory.
