Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac ({{IPA|fr|vodʁœj syʁ lə lak}}, {{lit|Vaudreuil on the Lake}}) is a village municipality in Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. It is located on the western portion of the Vaudreuil Peninsula, which projects into Lake of Two Mountains. The population as of the Canada 2016 Census was 1,341.

Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac is predominantly residential (90%), and only 10% industrial and commercial. The Club Nautique des Deux-Montagnes attracts many sailing enthusiasts.{{cite web |url=http://www.vsll.ca/municipalite/?id=1#head |title=Découvrez Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac, Historique |access-date=2009-02-04 |publisher=Municipalité de Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac |language=fr}}

History

Early in the twentieth century, the first vacationers arrived here, attracted to the beauty of the lakeshore. May 19, 1920, marked the date of the incorporation of the village Municipality of Belle-Plage (meaning "beautiful beach"), with Ludger Dupont as first mayor. Belle-Plage was then primarily known as a vacation destination: there were 77 owners for a total of about 300 people but only seven families residing here permanently.{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/topos/carto.asp?Speci=65221&Latitude=45,41666&Longitude=-74,03333&Zoom=1700 |title=Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac (Municipalité de village) |access-date=2009-02-04 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=fr}}

On January 4, 1960, the Municipal Council changed the name of "Belle-Plage" to "Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac". The new village name is a reference to the historic Vaudreuil Seignory, granted to and named after Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil, Governor of New France from 1703 to 1725.

In the early 1960s, the region began to be transformed into a residential suburb of Montreal City following the construction of the Île aux Tourtes Bridge and Highway 40, which passes Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac just to the south. Consequently, in the late sixties the village began to witness a perceptible increase in population.
