'''Terrebonne''' ({{IPA|fr|tɛʁbɔn}}) is an [[Greater Montreal|off-island suburb]] of [[Montreal]], in southwestern [[Quebec]], Canada. It is located in the [[North Shore (Laval)|North Shore]] region of the Montreal area, north of [[Laval, Quebec|Laval]] across the [[Rivière des Mille-Îles]].

This city is divided in three sectors, namely [[Lachenaie, Quebec|Lachenaie]], [[La Plaine, Quebec|La Plaine]] and Terrebonne. In the past, these sectors were distinct cities. However, on 22 August 2001, they merged under the name of ''Terrebonne''. According to the [[Canada 2021 Census|2021 Canadian Census]] Terrebonne has a population of 119,944,{{citation needed|date=September 2021}} making it Montreal's third largest suburb and the largest city on the North Shore.

==History==
[[File:Terrebonne.jpg|thumb|left|Terrebonne in 1810]]
The town of Lachenaie, which was founded in 1683 by Lord Charles Aubert de Lachenaye, is the oldest of the three towns that were merged.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} Some natives were already present on this territory at the time. The colonisation really started in 1647 when Lachenaie was merged with the Repentigny Seigniory. Louis Lepage de Ste-Claire, priest, canon, and the son of [[René Lepage de Sainte-Claire]], acquired the Seigniory of Terrebonne on 2 September 1720. Abbot Louis Lepage de Ste-Claire built the first church in 1734 and the first manor in 1735. A few years later, Abbot Lepage equipped the town with both a saw mill and a flour mill. The philanthropist [[Sophie Masson (philanthropist)|Sophie Masson]] was [[Seigneurial system of New France|seigneuress]] of Terrebonne from 1847 to 1883.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Geneviève-Sophie Raymond-Masson |url=https://terrebonne.ca/personnage-historique/genevieve-sophie-raymond-masson |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=Ville de Terrebonne |language=fr-CA}}</ref>

The town of La Plaine was founded in 1830 on fragments of other towns, namely [[Mascouche]], [[Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec|Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines]], [[Saint-Lin, Quebec|Saint-Lin]], and Terrebonne. At that time, the lords of Terrebonne and Lachenaie built the road named "chemin de la Grande Ligne" to join the two towns. It is now called the boulevard Laurier. In 1877, the rail system was developed and stimulated the economic growth. The village of Saint-Joachim was founded during that time, which was later, in 1920, to be renamed La Plaine.

The first lord of Terrebonne was André Daulier-Deslandes, who was granted his title in 1673. Following the construction of the first wooden bridge in 1834, two main areas emerged. The commercial area was Terrebonne, while the agricultural one was Saint-Louis de Terrebonne. Terrebonne became incorporated as a city in 1860 and again in 1985 after the merger with the parish of Saint-Louis de Terrebonne.

At the time of the municipal merger in late August 2001, Lachenaie had over 20,000 residents, La Plaine had 17,000 residents, and Terrebonne had almost 46,000 residents. This merger made Terrebonne the 10th largest city in [[Quebec]]. Ten years later, the city had around 106,322 citizens on {{convert|154.6|km2|sqmi|1|abbr=on}} of land, according to the 2011 Canadian Census.<ref name="cp2011"/>

===''Île-des-moulins''===
[[File:Terrebonne-Moulin-neuf.jpg|thumbnail|The ''Moulin neuf'' (New Mill) at the ''Île-des-moulins'']]
The pre-industrial complex of the ''Île-des-moulins'' was amongst the most important ones in the province of Quebec during the 19th century. Although several infrastructures have degraded, a total of five buildings remain. The fourth lord of Terrebonne, Abbot Louis Lepage, had ordered the construction of the first flour mill in 1721 as well as the first saw mill around 1725.

In 1803, the bakery was built and established in the village. The current saw and flour mills were built in 1804 and 1846, respectively. Four years following the construction of the flour mill that is currently standing at the ''Île-des-moulins'' to this day, the ''Moulin neuf'' (New Mill) was built in 1850. In addition, around the same time in 1850, the seigniory office was established.

In 1973, the ''Île-des-moulins'' was classified as a historic site of national interest by the [[Government of Quebec]].<ref>Interpretation Panel of the Île-des-moulins Historical Circuit, Terrebonne, Québec.</ref>

=== ''Moulin-Neuf'' dam ===
[[File:Terrebonne-Barrage-Moulin-neuf.jpg|thumb|The actual ''Moulin-Neuf'' dam with the pedestrian walkway at the ''Île-des-moulins'' in Terrebonne]]
The '''''Moulin-Neuf'' dam''' allows for the flow regulation of the [[Rivière des Mille Îles]], as well as ice accumulation control in the spring.

The first dam at the ''Île-des-moulins'' was built in 1721, following the establishment of the very first flour mill. This dam linked the ''Île-des-moulins'' to the ''Île Saint-Jean'', passing through the small ''Île aux moutons'', located midway between the two islands in the [[Rivière des Mille Îles]].

In 1872, the Masson family ordered the construction of a new dam near the location of the current historical one. However, this dam was rebuilt in cement in the year 1890 for reinforcement and increased resilience.

Nearly a century later, in 1972, the owner of the ''Île-des-moulins'' decided to destroy the dam with [[dynamite]] due to [[flood]]ing risk. As a result, the dam underwent severe damage, prompting the city of Terrebonne to acquire the island and classify it as a protected historical site in 1973.

In 1979, the ''Ministère des Richesses naturelles du Québec'' ordered the reconstruction of the ''Moulin-Neuf'' dam, to which a pedestrian walkway was added to allow citizens, visitors, and tourists to walk from the ''Île-des-moulins'' to the larger ''Île Saint-Jean''. This new dam was built a certain distance away from the small ''Île aux moutons'', making the dam significantly longer than the initial ones.

[[File:Riviere-des-Mille-Iles.jpg|thumb|A picture of the Rivière des Mille Îles in Terrebonne, in which the ''Île Saint-Jean'',  the ''Île aux moutons''  and the ''Île-des-moulins'' can be seen from left to right, respectively.]]

=== Ecclesiastical architecture ===
[[File:Terrebonne-St-Louis-de-France.jpg|thumbnail|The Saint-Louis-de-France Church in Terrebonne]]
The actual Saint-Louis-de-France Church in Old Terrebonne (''Vieux Terrebonne''), near the historical site of the ''Île-des-moulins'', was established in 1878, while the parish was founded in 1723 by Louis Lepage de Sainte-Claire, priest of the diocese of Quebec, parish priest of the ''Île Jésus'', and lord of the Seigniory of Terrebonne. The parish was part of the diocese of Saint-Jérôme.

The current Saint-Louis-de-France Church built around the year 1878, the third since the foundation of the parish, was equipped with a Casavant organ in 1946.

In 1880, parish priest Piché, informally known as the ''bon monsieur Piché'' ("Good Mister Piché" in English), exhumed the bodies buried in the basement of the old church in order to place them in the crypt of the new one.
