Senneville (French pronunciation: [sɛnvil]) is an affluent on-island suburban village on the western tip of the Island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
[9] The Morgan Arboretum was founded here in 1953, and is today managed by Macdonald College; an important bird sanctuary, it is open to the public year-round.
Sand dominates many inland areas; it is rapidly drained in places but often has impeded drainage due to the type of hardpan which develops in podzols.
[13] In 1679, Jacques Le Ber, fur trader from Montreal, bought the Boisbriand Fief from Michel Sidrac Dugé, and renamed it to Senneville after Senneville-sur-Fécamp, his hometown in France.
Le Ber operated a fur trading post there and built a stone windmill at the fort in 1686, which also served as a focal point for settlers in the area.
1n 1691, the stockade and windmill were burned down by Iroquois and a new stone fort was constructed in 1702–1703, which lasted until 1776 when it was destroyed during the American Revolutionary War by Continental Army troops under Benedict Arnold.
