Boisbriand
Boisbriand (French pronunciation: [bwabʁijɑ̃]) is an off-island suburb of Montreal, at the entrance of the Lower-Laurentides in southwestern Quebec, Canada, on the north shore of the Rivière des Mille Îles in the Thérèse-De Blainville Regional County Municipality.
Although relatively small, Boisbriand is bisected by three highways: Highway 13 on the west, Highway 15 on the east, and Highway 640 in the middle/north.
In September 1683, Louis XIV, King of France handed over to the soldier and seigneur Michel-Sidrac Dugué de Boisbriand a vast territory located north of the Rivière des Mille Îles. The territory extended from Terrebonne to the Rivière du Chêne in Saint-Eustache.
In 1740, Marie-Thérèse Dugué de Boisbriand, daughter of Michel-Sidrac, was actively involved in the colonization of the territory. 1740 marked the reception of the first settlers on the seigneury. The brothers Joseph, François and Jean Charbonneau, settled near Grande-Côte, north of Île de Mai.
Around 1750, a seigneurial manor was built by her daughter Suzanne de Langloiserie of Blainville near Grande-Côte, where Highway 15 passes today. This manor has now disappeared. Later, Marie-Anne-Thérèse de Blainville Lamarque (known as Thérèse de Blainville) succeeded her mother and in turn settled in the manor.
The establishment of a first parish in 1789 concretized the colonization efforts and contributed to the acceleration of the settlement of the region. The construction of a church further north (the current site of the church of Sainte-Thérèse) created a new center of attraction. About fifteen years later, the first public roads were built, including Curé-Labelle Boulevard, which was called "the Grand Line" at the time.
It was not until 1845 that a new system of administration was established, providing for the election of administrators (mayor and councilmen) by landowners. The year 1888 marked the advent of electricity in the region and the industrial era began.
On January 1, 1946, the municipality of Sainte-Thérèse-Ouest was founded. It was a detachment of the large parish of Sainte-Thérèse, which originally included the current territories of Saint-Augustin, Saint-Janvier, Sainte-Monique, Sainte-Thérèse, Rosemère, Bois-des-Filion, Lorraine and Blainville. On July 15, 1970, when the population of the municipality numbered 5,600, the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec granted the municipality's request and granted it by letters patent the status of a "city" governed by the Cities and Towns Act under the name of "Sainte-Thérèse-Ouest". The council of this municipality, which had only one ward, was composed of the mayor and six councilmen.
