Terrebonne is a city in Quebec located on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River within the Greater Montréal metropolitan region. It is one of the larger suburban cities surrounding Montréal and serves as an important residential, cultural and commercial hub in the Lanaudière region.
The historic core known as Vieux-Terrebonne preserves elements of the city’s early settlement history, with older buildings, public squares and cultural institutions that attract visitors from across the region. Over time the municipality expanded through the integration of neighbouring communities, creating a larger urban area that includes modern residential districts, industrial zones and commercial centres.
Today Terrebonne continues to grow as part of Montréal’s expanding metropolitan network. Transport connections, business development and new housing projects have contributed to steady population growth and a diversified local economy.
