geography
Senneville is located on the western tip of the Île de Montréal in the West Iceland region , on the shores of Lac des Deux Montagnes . The municipality borders in the northeast on the Montreal district of Pierrefonds-Roxboro and in the east on Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue . Downtown Montreal is around 32 kilometers away.
history
From 1672 the area was known as Boisbriand, named after Michel-Sidrac Dugué de Boisbriand, the first owner of the after fief . In 1679 he sold it to Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil and Jacques Le Ber. The latter built Fort Senneville , a warehouse and a mill in 1686 . In the same year he was ennobled by Louis XIV and called himself from then on Jacques Le Ber de Saint-Paul de Senneville, after his place of birth Senneville . In 1895 the village was granted parish status after it had split off from Sainte-Anne-du-Bout-de-l'Île.
On January 1, 2002, 27 parishes on the island were merged with Montreal. Resistance arose especially in communities with a high proportion of English speakers, as this measure had been ordered by the provincial government of the separatist Parti Québécois . From 2003, the Parti libéral du Québec provided the government and promised to reverse the merger of the municipalities. On July 20, 2004, referendums were held in 22 former municipalities. In Senneville, 93.4% of voters were in favor of the separation. The community was re-established on January 1, 2006, but had to cede numerous competencies to the community association.
