, is the largest on the south shore.
rail line connected to the newly constructed Victoria Bridge, which was the only major rail link between Montreal and the South Shore
. At the time, the bridge was the longest railway bridge in the world. Development had begun to spread into Greenfield Park, which merited the establishment of a town to provide services for the population.

, was by rail, through the Grand Trunk Railway
or the Montreal and Southern Counties Railway
. In 1913, Greenfield Park, along with neighbouring municipalities St. Lambert
, Montreal South and Longueuil
, built a shared sewer system and water filtration plant. The town also used artesian wells as a source for drinking water.
Similarly, in World War II
, Greenfield Park was the Canadian community that had the highest participation rate of military volunteers. This fact was recognized by both Prime Minister
William Lyon Mackenzie King
and the Minister of National Defence
, J.L. Ralston.
Following the war, returning veterans
were able to purchase homes with financial assistance through a purchasing program put into place by the town.
. This land was located on the opposite side of Taschereau, and A large amount of veterans housing was built on these lands, particularly along Bellevue Street North. During the early 60s, over 60% of the town's population traced their ancestry to the United Kingdom
, roughly half of that number live in the town today.

were merged into the amalgamated city of Longueuil

Town
Greenfield Park was named after the area's primary geographical features, which were in fact 'green fields' and forests. The town was established on March 24, 1911. The original Charter of Greenfield Park gave reasoning for the town's creation:
Whereas the rate-payers of the territory comprised in cadastral lots Nos . 225 to 244 of the parish of Longueuil have by a large majority in number and value represented that, in consequence of the rapid increase of population within the said territory being a suburb of the city of Montreal and in consequence of the necessity for local improvements similar to those of other suburbs of Montreal, it is necessary that the said territory be created into a separate municipality and they have prayed, that the general principles of the Cities and Towns' Act be applied to the said municipality and also that they be granted several powers similar to those of other suburbs of Montreal which are not contained in said act . . .
