History

1939 to 1975

Gatineau was incorporated in 1939. From 1939 to 1975, the City of Gatineau encompassed a very small area compared to its current borders. Old Gatineau consisted of the area north of the Ottawa River opposite Kettle Island. Its western border was at present day Boulevard de la CitÃ© and its eastern border went through present day Parc du Lac-Beauchamp. Its northern border was Boulevard Saint-RenÃ©, but it was extended northward as the city expanded.

1975 to 2002

Prior to January 1, 2002, there were five cities on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River: Hull, Gatineau, Aylmer, Buckingham, and Masson-Angers. The former City of Gatineau was the largest of these municipalities, both in area and population.

The former City of Gatineau was itself the product of an amalgamation on January 1, 1975, when the municipalities of Gatineau, Pointe-Gatineau, Touraine, Templeton, Templeton-Ouest and Templeton-Est were merged in an effort to improve municipal services and coordinate urban growth. Before Bill 170, they were part of the CommunautÃ© Urbaine de l'Outaouais supra-regional organization. With the 1975 amalgamation, Gatineau became the largest city in the Outaouais. Despite the 1989 separation of the Cantley area from the (now former) City of Gatineau, Gatineau remained the fourth largest municipality in Quebec by population, behind Montreal, Quebec City and Laval.

Amalgamation

On January 1, 2002, the Parti QuÃ©bÃ©cois government of Quebec amalgamated a number of municipalities throughout the Province, including the five former cities that constitute the current City of Gatineau (Aylmer, Hull, Gatineau, Buckingham and Masson-Angers). Hull was still considered the primary city within this region, although the former Gatineau had a larger population. Nonetheless, the name Gatineau was chosen for the new amalgamated municipality because it was more representative of the region (given that the former Gatineau county, the federal Gatineau Park, the Gatineau Hills, and the Gatineau River defined the area geographically, in a less restrictive manner than Hull), and several local politicians wanted to abandon the traditional English name in favour of an appropriately French name. The Gatineau name was chosen, despite the fact that \"Hull-Gatineau\" was the most popular choice in opinion polls, because the transition committee excluded hyphenated names from the ballot, and despite the fact that the Hull name had represented the earliest urban development in the area. The choice of name was in keeping with the political aim of making French the dominant language in Quebec.
