(Redirected from Deux-Montagnes)'Deux-Montagnes' is a municipality in southwestern
Quebec,
Canada where the
Rivière des Mille Îles flows out of
Lac des Deux Montagnes (Lake of Two Mountains). It is the seat of the
Regional County Municipality of Deux-Montagnes in the greater
Montreal region.
The name "Deux-Montagnes" dates to
1674 when it was given to the lake that stands in front of Deux-Montagnes, and to the
seigneury which stood north of the lake. Originally known as "Saint-Eustache-sur-le-Lac" when it was founded in
1921, it changed its name to Deux-Montagnes in
1963.
The municipality has two
commuter train stations, on the
Deux-Montagnes Line:
Deux-Montagnes and
Grand-Moulin.
