History

[edit]

Originally in the 17th century, "La Chute" identified a cataract or falls on the North River (Rivière du Nord) located about 24 km (15 mi) upstream from its confluence with the Ottawa River.[4] In 1753, Antoine Brunet became the firstfrancophone to settle in Lachute, temporarily. In 1796, Jedediah Lane, fromJericho, Vermont, bought several thousand acres of land on both sides of the North River, where Lachute is today. That same year, Hezekiah Clark and his family, also of Jericho, settled near the falls on the North River, followed byLoyalists fleeing the American Revolution. Two years later, the population of The Chute settlement (as it was then known by its English name) consisted of five families.[5]

The village grew quickly; by 1803, 30 families were scattered on both banks of the North River, and by 1810, Lachute counted 83 families, including 211 children of school age. In 1804, a mill was built at the falls and the first general store opened in 1813. One year later,Sir John Johnson bought a large part of theArgenteuil Seigneury. Johnson built a sawmill and gave land for the construction of churches, helping to attract new settlers to Argenteuil. In 1825, Thomas Barron became the first judge, then the first mayor of Lachute.[5] The Lachute post office was established in 1835.[4]

From 1870 to 1880, Lachute went through another period of expansion, both in economic and social development; the railway linking Montreal and Ottawa was built through the centre of the small town. Industries were established: Félix Hamelin and Thomas Henry Ayers established a wool mill and Irishman James Crocket Wilson opened a paper mill.[5]

In 1885, the Town of Lachute was incorporated with a population around 1300 persons, and in the same year, Lachute high school was founded. In 1901, electricity was brought to the town.[5]

Municipal park

In 1966, Lachute and the Village of Ayersville merged, forming theCité de Lachute. In 1971, during the construction ofMontréal-Mirabel International Airport, a part of the Saint-Jérusalem Parish was added to Lachute. In 1981,Cité de Lachute becameVille de Lachute. In 2000, about 10 km2 (3.9 sq mi) ofMirabel's territory were annexed by Lachute. In 2002, theService de police municipale de Lachute was transferred to theSûreté du Québec.[5]

The Expo Lachute Fair is the oldest fair in Quebec and the second-oldest in all of Canada, running from 1825 to the present. In 1917, the Argenteuil Agricultural Society purchased land to hold the Expo Lachute Fair permanently in Lachute. In 1917, the construction of the grandstand and the track was completed, with new cattle and horse barns being constructed as time and money allowed. The Fall Fair was changed to a Spring Fair in 1925 so that it could be deemed strictly a livestock show. Lachute was not always host to the exhibition; from 1825 to 1826, inhabitants of the county of York met in the then-bustling business centre of St. Andrews, to form a society called the County of York Agricultural Society, later changed to the Two Mountains Agricultural Society, and finally the Argenteuil Agricultural Society. Today, the Expo Lachute Fair is still popular. An annual agriculture fair is held in July and the Fall Derby is in September. The fairgrounds are also used for several other local events throughout the year.[6]
