Saint-Hubert, former city, Montérégie region, Quebec province, Canada, on the east side of the St. Lawrence River. In 2002 it and several other communities were merged administratively into the city of Longueuil. The area is mainly a residential suburb of Montreal city, but it has some manufacturing. Saint-Hubert was the site of the first transatlantic airport in Canada. An anchoring mast for dirigibles was installed there in 1930. After the opening of the international airport at Dorval, the Saint-Hubert facilities were taken over by the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was incorporated as a city in 1958, retaining that status until its amalgamation into Longueuil in 2002.
