TheTown of Île-Perrot (French/official name:Ville de l'Île-Perrot,pronounced[lilpɛʁo]) is a town and municipality onÎle Perrot in southwesternQuebec,Canada. The population as of theCanada 2016 Census was 10,756. The town is at the western end ofLake Saint-Louis, and borders the local island communities ofTerrasse-Vaudreuil,Pincourt andNotre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot. It also includesDowker Island and the small Claude and Bellevue Islands (Île Claude andÎle Bellevue).
The island was granted on October 29, 1672, toFrançois-Marie Perrot (1644-1691), captain in the Picardy Regiment and governor of Montreal in 1670. In 1786, the place received its first parish priest.[2]
In 1845, the Municipality of l'Isle-Perrot was founded, abolished in 1847, and re-established in 1855 as the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Jeanne-Chantal-de-l'Isle-Perrot (partially taking the name of theSainte-Jeanne-Chantal Parish established there in 1832). In 1946, its name was changed to L'Île-Perrot, and in 1955, it changed statutes from parish municipality toville.[2]
In 1949, L'Île-Perrot greatly reduced in size when a large part of its territory was split off to form the new Parish Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot.[6]
