History
editThe island was granted as a seigneury on October 29, 1672, to François-Marie Perrot (1644-1691), captain in the Picardy Regiment and governor of Montreal in 1670.[1]
In 1949, the Parish Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot was formed out of the Parish Municipality of L'Île-Perrot.[1] A year later, it lost part of its territory when the Village Municipality of Pincourt was created.[5]
On December 18, 1986, the Town of Pointe-du-Moulin (founded in 1958) was amalgamated into Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, which changed statutes from parish municipality to (regular) municipality in 1998, and became a ville in 2004.[1]
