La Chute – Proposed Boundaries
The name "La Chute" has its origin in the 17th century, referring to a waterfall (chute) on the North River in the former Seigneury of Argenteuil. In the late 18th century, the population consisted mainly of Loyalists who had fled the American Revolution, and the area was known as "The Chute Settlement." The name gradually changed to "La Chute," then "Lachute" (one word) in the 19th century.
