Terrasse-Vaudreuil
municipality in Montérégie, Quebec, Canada
Terrasse-Vaudreuil (French pronunciation: [tɛʁas vodʁœj]) is a small municipality on Île Perrot, just west of Montreal Island in Quebec, Canada.
History
At the beginning of the 20th century, Terrasse-Vaudreuil was the site of a large powder magazine.
In 1948, its post office opened under the name Terrasse-Vaudreuil, in reference to its location on Lake of Two Mountains and its view towards Vaudreuil Bay and the town of Vaudreuil. In the 1950s, it began to see rapid residential development. The municipality was formed in 1952 when it separated from the Parish Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot. In 1963, the post office closed.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Terrasse-Vaudreuil”, the useful work is to connect “municipality in Montérégie, Quebec, Canada” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3518578. VIAF identifies the subject as 150053540. Authority coordinates are 45.400, -73.983. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1948, 1952, 1963 and 1966.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
