Saint-Lin-Laurentides is a small town in Quebec, Canada, in the Regional County Municipality of Montcalm. In the 2001 Canadian census, the town had a population of 12,384.
Saint-Lin was the birthplace of former Canadian Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier, whose paternal home is now a National Historic Site of Canada. Saint-Lin–Laurentides was formed on 1 March 2000, when the Municipality of Saint-Lin and the Town of Laurentides were merged.
Saint-Lin was first settled in 1807 when pioneers from Saint-Pierre-du-Portage (now L’Assomption) arrived. In 1828, the Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaie Parish was founded. In 1845, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Lin was established, but was abolished 2 years later in 1847 when it was absorbed into the county municipality. That same year, its post office opened. In 1855, the municipality was reestablished as Saint-Lin-de-Lachenaye, with Carolus Laurier, father of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as first mayor.
