Les Coteaux (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a municipality in Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. It is located north of the Saint Lawrence River and Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
It was formed from the merger in 1994 of Coteau-Station (north of Autoroute 20) and Coteau-Landing (south of Autoroute 20). Prior to 1985, Coteau-Station had been known as Station-du-Coteau.[1]
History
Coteau-Landing was the historic location at the upper end of rapids on the St. Lawrence River where canoeing and boating parties had to land in order to portage around the rapids. It was formerly called Anse-aux-Batteaux (English: Cove of Boats). At the end of the 17th century, a staging post was built there for voyageurs and fur traders. But it was not until 1771 that settlement really began.[2]
In 1847, its post office opened under the English name "Coteau Landing". In 1853, the Village Municipality of Côteau Landing was created (orthography was later changed to "Coteau-Landing"). When Soulanges County was formed in 1855, the village became the county seat. When the Soulanges Canal was completed with Coteau-Landing as its western terminus, its economy was boosted by the presence of a lock and relay centre with quays and wharves. It also had a regular paddle steamer service to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.[2]
The Grand Trunk Railway was constructed in 1855 with a station just north of Coteau Landing, called Coteau Junction. In 1887, the Village Municipality of Station du Coteau was created out of territory ceded from Saint-Polycarpe. Its name was adjusted to La Station-du-Coteau, and renamed in 1984 to Coteau-Station.[2]
In May 1994, the village municipalities of Coteau-Landing and Coteau-Station were amalgamated to form the Municipality of Coteaux (adjusted to Les Coteaux in June 1995).[3]
