Paroisse Saint-Martin, 1774 - Municipalité, 1855 C'est la 4e de l'Île Jésus. En 1790, elle compte déjà 35% de la population de l'Île Jésus. Comme le Séminaire de Québec encourage l'agriculture, la population de l'Île Jésus reste constante pendant tout le XIXe siècle. En 1953, on crée 2 municipalités différentes: Saint-Martin, paroisse et Saint-Martin, ville. En 1959, de Saint-Martin, paroisse, on fonde la ville de Renaud. Saint-Martin devient cité; puis elle se fusionne avec l'Abord-à-Plouffe et Renaud pour donner Chomedey.
