Since 2006, Le Vieux-Longueuil borough stands for the combination of the former city of Longueuil and LeMoyne. LeMoyne joined Le Vieux-Longueuil borough when Saint-Lambert left the city of Longueuil in 2006.

Le Vieux-Longueuil borough has 9 municipal districts. One of the districts contains LeMoyne and a portion of the former city of Longueuil. The other 8 districts are all located in the former city of Longueuil.
