Saint Jérôme

Saint-Jérôme, Quebec is a town in Quebec, near Mirabel, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Montreal along Autoroute des Laurentides. It is home to CEGEP de Saint-Jérôme, one of the Colleges of General and Vocational Education located in the province.

The town is a gateway to Laurentian mountains resorts.

It is an important stop on the North-South trunk of the "route verte" cycling path which makes it possible for nature lovers who are also pedaling enthusiasts to make short trips or excursions lasting several days going (or coming from) as far South as Blainville, Quebec on the outskirts of Montreal and as far North as Mont-Tremblant, Quebec without ever sharing the road with a motorized vehicle.

In 2002 Saint-Jérôme amalgamated with the following municipalities (2001 populations):
Saint-Jérôme (24,583)
Bellefeuille (14,066)
Saint-Antoine (11,488)
Lafontaine (9,477)
a small part of Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs (2,804)
