Dalhousie Station, Quebec

Dalhousie is a small town in south-western Quebec near the border of Ontario, in the municipality of Saint-Télesphore, which is located within Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality, Quebec (Canada). It lies 70 km to the west of Montreal. It is named for George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, who served as Governor General of Canada from 1825 to 1828.

An extension of the settlement lies outside Quebec within Ontario's United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.

It is sometimes referred to as Dalhousie Station because of its location as a settlement at a former station of the Canadian Pacific Railway / Chemin de fer Canadien Pacifique, which dated from 1884.

A former station water tower area, which was re-landscaped in 2006, remains a significant local landmark.
