on January 1, 2002 with the communities of Boucherville, Brossard
, Greenfield Park
, LeMoyne
, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Saint-Hubert
, and Saint-Lambert
. These cities became boroughs of the Longueuil megacity. Saint-Lambert and LeMoyne combined to become one borough called Saint-Lambert/LeMoyne. The former city of Longueuil was renamed Vieux-Longueuil
borough.

voted to demerge
from Longueuil to reconstitute themselves as municipalities on January 1, 2006. The rest of the city stayed intact.
The departure of Saint-Lambert from the city Longueuil resulted in the immediate disbanding of the Saint-Lambert/LeMoyne borough. LeMoyne's small population and territory did not allowed it to become a borough of its own. In 2005, the population of LeMoyne was given the choice to pick a new borough between Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. Vieux-Longueuil ended up being the winner and amalgamated LeMoyne into its borough on January 1, 2006.
Following the demergers, Longueuil relocated its city hall from Brossard to Saint-Hubert, where it is still located.

from Longueuil to reconstitute themselves as municipalities on January 1, 2006. The rest of the city stayed intact.
The departure of Saint-Lambert from the city Longueuil resulted in the immediate disbanding of the Saint-Lambert/LeMoyne borough. LeMoyne's small population and territory did not allowed it to become a borough of its own. In 2005, the population of LeMoyne was given the choice to pick a new borough between Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. Vieux-Longueuil ended up being the winner and amalgamated LeMoyne into its borough on January 1, 2006.
Following the demergers, Longueuil relocated its city hall from Brossard to Saint-Hubert, where it is still located.
