• Illustration — The Montmorency River and Falls form the eastern boundary of Beauport. Beauport was established in 1634, making it one of the oldest European-founded communities in Canada. An Internment camp was set up at The Armoury in Beauport, Quebec from December 1914 to June 1916. It was incorporated as a city in 1976 through the amalgamation of seven municipalities (Beauport, Saint-Michel-Archange, Giffard, Villeneuve, Montmorency, Courville and Sainte-Thérèse-de-Lisieux). During the 1990s its population continued to grow because of its economic diversification, available space, and outdoor recreational opportunities. On January 1, 2002, Beauport was merged into Quebec City.
