LeMoyne (also known as Ville LeMoyne) is a former city on the South Shore of Montreal. It is currently a neighbourhood in Longueuil, Quebec, and is part of the borough of Le Vieux-Longueuil. LeMoyne makes up 2% of the total area of Le Vieux-Longueuil borough and is the only neighbourhood of the borough that was not part of the pre-2002 city of Longueuil. Residents of LeMoyne are called LeMoynois.
The municipal electoral district of LeMoyne-Jacques-Cartier corresponds to the territory of LeMoyne, along with a portion from the former city of Longueuil.
LeMoyne is divided into two sections separated by Route 112. They are Saint-Maxime and Saint-Josaphat, the two Catholic parishes that are the ancestors of LeMoyne.
Route 112 is called Saint-Louis Street in Saint-Maxime. Saint-Maxime has the shape of rectangle and is located from Saint-Louis Street to the limits of Greenfield Park. Saint-Maxime Church, built in 1918, is on Charron Street.
In Saint-Josaphat, Route 112 is called Sir Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard. Saint-Josaphat has the shape somewhat of a boomerang or a hockey stick, and is located from Sir Wilfrid Laurier Boulevard to the limits of the former city of Longueuil. Saint-Josaphat Church is located on De L'Église Street.
The town of LeMoyne was created in 1949 from the merger of two parishes, Saint-Josaphat and Saint-Maxime, both of which were previously located in Ville Jacques-Cartier. According to local historian Michel Pratt, the name "LeMoyne" was chosen by Redmond Roche of the Union Nationale, in honour to Charles LeMoyne.
