Annexations to the territory

Annexations to the territory

At the time of its incorporation, Ville Saint-Laurent only covered a small territory. Its first mayor was Édouard Gohier; and it was also represented by a few city councillors. There were 225 homes in its territory, most of which were built from wood, as well as several companies and four hotels. Little by little, the city annexated parish land until it surrounded it completely in 1954. Here are the dates of the most significant annexations.
