Kirkland is a city in Quebec, part of the Greater Montreal area and the administrative region of the same name, in Canada.
The city was named in honour of the Honourable Dr. Charles-Aimé Kirkland, Member of Parliament for the Jacques-Cartier riding from 1939 until his death in 1961.
The city was incorporated in 1961. In the early 1960s, the city was divided in two following the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway, which crosses the Island of Montreal from east to west and corresponds to a section of the Félix-Leclerc Highway. This significantly altered the city's dynamics and allowed for the development of a large industrial park, generating substantial revenue for the city and its residents. The other geographic areas of the city were preserved for residential development.
In 2002, the city, along with several other autonomous municipalities on the Island of Montreal, was amalgamated into the greater city. This amalgamation, mandated by a law passed by the then-governing Parti Québécois, was contested and overturned by a referendum in May 2004, which allowed the city to be reconstituted on January 1, 2006.
Kirkland is located in the southwest of the Island of Montreal. Its territory covers 9.6 km².
