There is an extensive rapid on the St. Lawrence River at this location.[5] During the American Revolution, the Battle of the Cedars was fought in the vicinity. In 1959-1960 Swedish writer, Stig Claesson, lived in the village at a place called Point Charlie and later wrote a book about it called My friend Charlie.
History
This location was already notable in the late 17th century because of the large rapids on the St. Lawrence River, marked by tall cedars (French: les cèdres) that grew there in abundance. Hence, the location was originally known as Cedars Rapids, or as mentioned by cartographer Deshayes in 1695, as Rapide du Costeau des Cèdres. Subsequently, it was also known as Coteau-des-Cèdres, Portage-du-Coteau-des-Cèdres, or just Les Cèdres. Numerous explorers and military expeditions passed there to portage around the rapids. It was first settled in 1715.[1]
In 1967, the Village Municipality of Soulange was renamed to Les Cèdres. In 1985, Les Cèdres and Saint-Joseph-de-Soulanges were merged to form the current Municipality of Les Cèdres.[1]
Some areas are served by École Du Papillon-Bleu (pavillons Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Sainte-Trinité) in Vaudreuil-Dorion and by École Des Étriers in Saint-Lazare[14]
