'''Saint-Lin–Laurentides''' ({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃ lɛ̃ lɔʁɑ̃tid}}) is a small [[city (Quebec)|city]] located in the [[Montcalm Regional County Municipality]] of [[Quebec]], [[Canada]]. Its official name uses an [[en dash]]; however, the city's own website uses the two-hyphen version of its name: '''Saint-Lin-Laurentides'''.  In the [[Canada 2021 Census]] its population was 24,030.

Saint-Lin was the birthplace of former Canadian [[Prime Minister of Canada|Prime Minister]] [[Wilfrid Laurier]], whose paternal home is now a [[National Historic Sites of Canada|National Historic Site of Canada]].

==History==
[[File:Eglise de St-Lin.jpg|thumb|140px|left|Church of St-Lin, 2009]]
Saint-Lin–Laurentides was formed on 1 March 2000, when the Municipality of Saint-Lin and the Town of Laurentides were merged.<ref name="CTQ-SLL">{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/toposweb/recherche.aspx?no_seq=360840 |title=Saint-Lin–Laurentides (Ville) |accessdate=2009-09-24 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French}}</ref>

'''Saint-Lin''' was first settled in 1807 when pioneers from Saint-Pierre-du-Portage (now [[L'Assomption]]) arrived. In 1828, the Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaie Parish was founded. In 1845, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Lin was established, but was abolished 2 years later in 1847 when it was absorbed into the county municipality. That same year, its post office opened. In 1855, the municipality was reestablished as Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaye, with Carolus Laurier, father of Sir [[Wilfrid Laurier]], as first mayor.<ref name="CTQ-SLL"/>

'''Laurentides''' was originally the Village Municipality of Saint-Lin, which became an incorporate entity in 1856. In 1883, it changed name and statutes and became the Town of Laurentides. Also that year, the local post office opened.<ref name="CTQ-La">{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/toposweb/recherche.aspx?no_seq=34702 |title=Laurentides (Ville) |accessdate=2009-09-24 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French}}</ref>
