Auteuil is a district of Laval in Quebec, Canada. It is delimited in the north-west by the Rivière des Mille-Îles, north-east by Saint-François, south-east by Duvernay, south by Vimont and south-west by Sainte-Rose.〔(Interactive map of Laval from the official website ) Shows both the borders and names of the 14 former municipalities (purple) and the borders only of the current 6 sectors (maroon), tick off both boxes beside "Limite administrative".〕 ==History== Auteuil corresponds roughly to the former territory of ''Sainte-Rose-Est Parish''. At its creation in 1740 the parish of Sainte-Rose-de-Lima covered almost the entire north-west of the ''Île Jésus''. Its first church was located on the eastern boundary of the old city of Auteuil, on the banks of the Mille Îles River near Rue Descartes and Rue Debien. The church was destroyed by fire and, because of a controversy over its location between Monseigneur Briand and the parishioners worship was interrupted. Rebuilt in 1788, it was relocated 6.7 km south-west of the old site. On 1 January 1858, the village of Sainte-Rose corporation detached itself and formed a separate municipality (see Sainte-Rose). In 1914 there was a second separation: the eastern and western parts of Sainte-Rose, which led to the creation of the Municipality of Sainte-Rose-de-Lima for the eastern part which was known as ''Saint-Rose-Est'' and ''Bas Sainte-Rose''. As a rural municipality, Sainte-Rose-Est experienced significant population growth until 1953. At that time the beaches on the Mille Îles River located in Sainte-Rose-Est attracted visitors from Île Jésus and Montreal. The Provincial Transport bus company organized tours bringing tourists to the Jean-Talon Terminus near the market of the same name at the ''Idéale Beach'' which was by far the most popular. There were however two other beaches near it: ''Mont-Royal'' and ''Jacques-Cartier'' beaches. The population in 1953 was less than 1,000 who lived along the Mille Îles River. Growth in population of Sainte-Rose-Est occurred between 1953 and 1960 when it had 4,000 families during the summer season when the normal population was only 2,000 families. In 1961 Sainte-Rose-Est was officially renamed Auteuil and, in the same year, the parish of Sainte-Beatrice was founded. It was a separate city until the municipal mergers on 6 August 1965. This district is the eastern extension of the residential centres west of Sainte-Rose, east of Saint Francis, east of Duvernay, and south of Vimont. Most of the land is agricultural. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auteuil, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
