Dorval at a Glance
Untitled Document
Home to the Pierre
Elliot Trudeau International Airport, Dorval is the port of entry for many
visitors to Quebec. Although
it was considered a borough of the City of Montreal
for many years, Dorval proudly re-claimed its status as an independent city
on January 1, 2006. Dorval enjoys a convenient and scenic location on the southwestern
portion of the Island of Montreal, along the shores of Lake St. Louis. The region
has a vast history dating back to 1665, when the community was founded by Sulpician
priests who established a mission at what was then called Ville-Marie (City
of Marie). Today, the city boasts an abundance of parks and green spaces, and
offers a variety of recreational activities, including golfing and boating.
Visitors can take a trip into Dorval's colourful history at the Dorval
Museum of Local History and Heritage.
