Terrebonne, Québec, Canada

Terrebonne, Québec

The current City of Terrebonne, incorporated in 2001, covers 155.48 square kilometers, comprising the territories of the cities of Lachenaie, La Plaine and Terrebonne and along the Mille-Îles River.

The city of Terrebonne belongs to the administrative region of Lanaudière and is part of the regional county municipality of Les Moulins, but it is also in the Metropolitan Community of Montreal.

The city takes its name from the seigneury of Terrebonne or Terbonne, granted in 1673 on the banks of the Rivière des Mille-Îles to André Daulier Des Landes. The domination is attributed to him because of the fertility of the land.
