Incorporated as a city in 1958, Saint Bruno is a picturesque town on the south-shore of Montreal. Pierre Boucher de Boucherville Junior was granted the Montarville seigneury in 1710. François-Pierre Bruneau bought the seigneury in 1829. The Roman Catholic parish of Saint Bruno was set up in 1842. The two names "Saint Bruno" and "Montarville" were joined in 1855 when it became a parish municipality.
The demographics of Saint Bruno de Montarville are quite unique, with the town residing at the foot of Mont Saint-Bruno, one of the mountains that makes up the Monteregian mountain chain. The mountain is home to a provincial park, Park National du Mont Saint Bruno, as well as a ski hill, Ski Mont Saint Bruno.
