Senneville is an affluent on-island suburban village on the western tip of the Island of Montreal. It is the wealthiest town in the West Island.〔http://grandquebec.com/vie-communautaire/senneville/〕 Situated close to the city of Montreal, it was historically a popular location for the summer homes of wealthy Montrealers.〔 〕 Attractions include multiple golf clubs, a yacht club, and La Ferme du Fort Senneville,〔(La Ferme du Fort Senneville )〕 an organic demonstration farm.〔(Horizon Properties )〕 The Morgan Arboretum was founded here in 1953, and is today managed by Macdonald College; an important bird sanctuary, it is open to the public year-round.〔(Morgan Arboretum )〕 Fort Senneville was constructed here in 1671, but its ruins are on private land and are not accessible to the public. The historic core of the village was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2002. On January 1, 2002, as part of the 2002–2006 municipal reorganization of Montreal, Senneville was merged into the city of Montreal and became part of the borough of Pierrefonds-Senneville. However, after a change of government and a 2004 referendum, it was re-constituted as an independent municipality on January 1, 2006. ==Geography== All of Senneville lies over dolostone. In contrast to the monotony of this bedrock, there are many types of soil in the municipality. Clay is common near the northeastern corner and part of the western shores. Sand dominates many inland areas; it is rapidly drained in places but often has impeded drainage due to the type of hardpan which develops in podzols. Near-shore areas along the northern margin have extensive areas of glacial till which forms a calcareous well-drained loam. The loamy slopes overlooking Lac des Deux Montagnes are excellent for fruit trees and tender plants due to fertile soils, good drainage, and the moderating effect on microclimate provided by the lake. 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「Senneville, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
