In 1855, the parish of Sainte-Jeanne-Chantal-de-l'Isle-Perrot was founded, which included the entire island. In 1946 this became the entire municipality of Île-Perrot, which only existed for a few years, since Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot split off in 1949. On the eastern tip of the island, the municipality of Pointe-du-Moulin was founded in 1958, but it merged with Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot in 1984. In 2004 the municipality received city status.
