The place in history
Longueuil began with a seigneurial grant to Charles Le Moyne in 1657. Its historic center grew opposite Montréal, becoming a town in 1874 and a city in 1920.
A later Soupliotis generation made its home here, extending the family story from the villages and port of Thessaly to Québec's south shore.
