Dorval, nicknamed The City of Oaks because of its numerous oak trees scattered across the city, is a peaceful residential town on the Island of Montreal, on the western part of the island. It offers a family-friendly living environment, lush parks, easy access to Montreal's international airport, and a appreciated proximity to the metropolis. Located along the Saint Lawrence River, it offers stunning views of the water. It owes its name to Jean-Baptiste Bouchard, known as Dorval, one of the first settlers of the region.
