Chemin de Chambly

Chambly Road

Ce chemin, l'un des premiers au Canada, était une route militaire reliant à Montréal les forts le long de la rivière Richelieu. En 1665, les soldats du régiment de Carignan construisirent une route rudimentaire entre les villes actuelles de Chambly et de Longueuil, et le colonel de Salières s'en servit pour renforcer l'expédition du gouverneur de Courcelle contre les Iroquois l'hiver suivant. Au début du XVIIIe siècle, le chemin fut aménagé pour l'usage des colons.
