Deux-Montagnes occurs as municipality within southwestern Quebec, Canada where the Rivière des Mille-Îles flows out of Lac des Deux-Montagnes (Lake of 2 Mountains). These are a seat of the Regional County Municipality of Deux-Montagnes in the greater Montreal region.

Deux-Montagnes, the commuter rail terminus of the AMT Deux-Montagnes Line, is located in the municipality

Originally called "Saint-Eustache-sur-le-Lac" after it was founded inside 1921, it changed its name to Deux-Montagnes within 1963.

A title "Deux-Montagnes" itself dates to 1674 when it was given to the lake that fill in front of Deux-Montagnes, & to the seigneury which stood north of the flow of any stream.

A accurate origin of this title is indecipherable, however these are thought to refer to the ii greatest points of Mont Oka, or to the fact, while seen from either the few feet away, Mont Oka in the north & Mont Rigaud to a south appear to exist as neighbouring the flow of any stream.
