History

On 2002-01-01, the formerly independent town was merged with with Dollard-des-Ormeaux to become a borough in the new city of Montreal. When offered the chance to "de-merge" on June 20, 2004, residents of the former town chose to stay with in the new city, unlike Dollard es Ormeaux. Although the vote to de-merge was approved by 67 percent of the voters the de-merger did not pass because the province also required a 35 percent turn out and there was only a 33.36 per cent turn out. Residents of the former city of Pierrefonds, which completely surrounded the former town of Roxboro, also chose to stay in the new city and joined to form the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro. The new borough was formally created on January 1, 2006. Roxboro's former borough partner, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, did choose to regain their independence and de-merged at that time.
