Saint-LinâLaurentides is a small city located in the Montcalm Regional County Municipality of Quebec, Canada. Its official name uses an en dash; however, the city's own website uses the two-hyphen version of its name: Saint-Lin-Laurentides. In the Canada 2021 Census its population was 24,030.
Saint-Lin was the birthplace of former Canadian Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier, whose paternal home is now a National Historic Site of Canada.
Saint-LinâLaurentides was formed on 1 March 2000, when the Municipality of Saint-Lin and the Town of Laurentides were merged. [5]
Saint-Lin was first settled in 1807 when pioneers from Saint-Pierre-du-Portage (now L'Assomption) arrived. In 1828, the Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaie Parish was founded. In 1845, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Lin was established, but was abolished 2 years later in 1847 when it was absorbed into the county municipality. That same year, its post office opened. In 1855, the municipality was reestablished as Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaye, with Carolus Laurier, father of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as first mayor. [5]
Laurentides was originally the Village Municipality of Saint-Lin, which became an incorporate entity in 1856. In 1883, it changed name and statutes and became the Town of Laurentides. Also that year, the local post office opened. [6]
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Saint-LinâLaurentides had a population of 24,030 living in 9,289 of its 9,615 total private dwellings, a change of 15.6% from its 2016 population of 20,786. With a land area of 118.29 km2 (45.67 sq mi), it had a population density of 203.1/km2 (526.1/sq mi) in 2021. [7]
