[edit] Origin of name
The station was originally called Longueuil, after the city where it is located. It was renamed Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke on September 26, 2003, to reflect the fact that the Université de Sherbrooke has a campus nearby. (Each Montreal-area university has its name in the nearest metro station.) Nevertheless, most Montrealers still use the station's original name when referring to this station.
