Le Moyne (French pronunciation:[ləmwan]; also known asVille Le Moyne, formerly known asLeMoyne) is a neighbourhood inLongueuil,Quebec, part of the borough ofLe Vieux-Longueuil, and aformer city. Le Moyne makes up 2% of the total area of Le Vieux-Longueuil borough and is the only neighbourhood of the borough that was not part of thepre-2002 city of Longueuil. Residents of Le Moyne are calledLe Moynois.
Themunicipal electoral district of Le Moyne-Jacques-Cartier corresponds to the territory of Le Moyne, along with a portion from theformer city of Longueuil.
According to local historian Michel Pratt, the name "Le Moyne" was chosen by Redmond Roche of theUnion Nationale, in honour toCharles Le Moyne.
Thetown hall of Le Moyne was originally onSaint-Louis Street near Laurier Street.[4] In 1967, the town hall was moved to 2205 Saint-Georges Street where it remained until the 2002 merger of Le Moyne with Longueuil.[5][6] It is now afire station for the city of Longueuil.
The last of motto of Le Moyne, before its annexation into Longueuil, wasDroit et Loyal (English translation: Right and Loyal)
On January 1, 2002, Le Moyne ceased to exist as a municipality and wasamalgamated into the city of Longueuil to become part of theSaint-Lambert/Le Moyne borough. However, on June 20, 2004Saint-Lambert voted todemerge from Longueuil and on January 1, 2006 regained its status of city, while Le Moyne opted to stay in Longueuil.
After the demergers, Le Moyne joined Le Vieux-Longueuil borough following the results of a 2005referendum in which the residents of Le Moyne were given the choice to pick a new borough between Le Vieux-Longueuil,Saint-Hubert andGreenfield Park.
