History

As part of the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, the City of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts was created on February 27, 2002 by the merger of the city of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, the municipality of Sainte-Agathe-Nord, and the municipality of Ivry-sur-le-Lac. Following a 2004 referendum Ivry-sur-le-Lac de-merged and became an independent municipality again on January 1, 2006.

The 2004 Quebec municipal referendums were held by the Quebec Liberal Party government of Jean Charest that came to power in the 2003 Quebec election, in fulfillment of a campaign promise to allow voters to have a say regarding the municipal reorganization program that had been undertaken by the preceding Parti Québécois administration.

However, the legislation governing the de-merger process provided for the creation of a new municipal structure, an urban agglomeration, which would continue to tie de-merged cities to their former partners for the provision of various municipal services.

The municipal history of Quebec started in 1796 with the creation of administrations for Montréal and Quebec City, but it really developed immediately prior to the creation of the Province of Canada in 1841 with the formation of municipal districts, followed in March 1845 when the Parliament of the Province of Canada adopted an Act to create local authorities in Lower Canada which took effect in July 1845.
