Terrasse-Vaudreuil is a small municipality on Île Perrot, just west of Montreal Island in Quebec, Canada.

History

At the beginning of the 20th century, Terrasse-Vaudreuil was the site of a large powder magazine.

In 1948, its post office opened under the name Terrasse-Vaudreuil, in reference to its location on Lake of Two Mountains and its view towards Vaudreuil Bay and the town of Vaudreuil. In the 1950s, it began to see rapid residential development. The municipality was formed in 1952 when it separated from the Parish Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot. In 1963, the post office closed.
