History
The land had been occupied for more than three centuries, since the establishment of the Iroquois mission in 1676, it is only in 1937 that the founding of la paroisse de Sainte-Catherine de Laprairie really marks a territorial organization. In 1973, a demographic boom finally granted the status of town to the village. In 2006, according to the city's official site, there were 17,000 inhabitants in Sainte-Catherine.
The inauguration of the Honoré Mercier Bridge in 1934, and then of the Champlain Bridge in 1962, greatly boosted the local economy.

Economy
In 1934, the inauguration of the Honoré Mercier Bridge, linking Kahnawake, an indigenous territory bordering the west side of the city, and Châteauguay to the south of the island of Montreal, gave a major boost to the economy. Some thirty years later, the opening of the Champlain Bridge also greatly helped the regional economy. The construction of the Côte-Sainte-Catherine lock on the St. Lawrence Seaway, which passes through Sainte-Catherine, in the late 1950s also gave this small municipality a huge boost in terms of socio-economic development. A major commercial zone is also located along Route 132.
