from Longueuil to reconstitute themselves as municipalities on January 1, 2006. The rest of the city stayed intact. The departure of Saint-Lambert from the city of Longueuil resulted in the immediate disbanding of the Saint-Lambert/LeMoyne borough. LeMoyne's small population and territory did not allow it to become a borough of its own. In 2005, the population of LeMoyne was given the choice to pick a new borough between Le Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. Le Vieux-Longueuil ended up being the winner and amalgamated LeMoyne into its borough on January 1, 2006. Following the demergers, Longueuil relocated its city hall from Brossard to Saint-Hubert, where it is still located.
