Deux-Montagnes, Quebec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deux-Montagnes is a municipality in southwestern Quebec, Canada where the Rivière des Mille Îles flows out of Lac des Deux Montagnes (Lake of Two Mountains). It is the seat of the Regional County Municipality of Deux-Montagnes in the greater Montreal region.
The name "Deux-Montagnes" dates to 1674 when it was given to the lake that stands in front of Deux-Montagnes, and to the seigneury which stood north of the lake. Originally known as "Saint-Eustache-sur-le-Lac" when it was founded in 1921, it changed its name to Deux-Montagnes in 1963.
The municipality has two commuter train stations, on the Deux-Montagnes Line: Deux-Montagnes and Grand-Moulin.
