The city of La Plaine was founded in 1830 on fragments of other cities, namely Mascouche, Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Saint-Lin–Laurentides and Terrebonne. At that time, the lords of Terrebonne and Lachenaie were building the road named "chemin de la Grande Ligne" to join the two cities. It is now called Laurier Boulevard. In 1877, the rail system was developed and stimulated the economic growth. The village of Saint-Joachim was founded during that time, which was later, in 1920, to be renamed La Plaine.
A almost total Solar eclipse happened during the Solar eclipse of April 8, 2024
At the time of the merger in 2001, the population of La Plaine was 15,673.
The Forum de La Plaine is a 2,000-seat multi-purpose arena.
