Saint-Lin–Laurentides ({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃ lɛ̃ lɔʁɑ̃tid}}) is a small city located in the Montcalm Regional County Municipality of Quebec, Canada. Its official name uses an en dash; however, the city's own website uses the two-hyphen version of its name: Saint-Lin-Laurentides. In the Canada 2021 Census its population was 24,030.
Saint-Lin was the birthplace of former Canadian Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier, whose paternal home is now a National Historic Site of Canada.
History
Saint-Lin–Laurentides was formed on 1 March 2000, when the Municipality of Saint-Lin and the Town of Laurentides were merged.{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/toposweb/recherche.aspx?no_seq=360840 |title=Saint-Lin–Laurentides (Ville) |accessdate=2009-09-24 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French}}
Saint-Lin was first settled in 1807 when pioneers from Saint-Pierre-du-Portage (now L'Assomption) arrived. In 1828, the Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaie Parish was founded. In 1845, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Lin was established, but was abolished 2 years later in 1847 when it was absorbed into the county municipality. That same year, its post office opened. In 1855, the municipality was reestablished as Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaye, with Carolus Laurier, father of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as first mayor.
Laurentides was originally the Village Municipality of Saint-Lin, which became an incorporate entity in 1856. In 1883, it changed name and statutes and became the Town of Laurentides. Also that year, the local post office opened.{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/toposweb/recherche.aspx?no_seq=34702 |title=Laurentides (Ville) |accessdate=2009-09-24 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French}}
