Originally incorporated as a municipality in 1961, it merged with the City of Montreal on January 1, 2002, at the insistence of the Parti Québécois provincial government. Following the election of the Quebec Liberal Party, it was given the opportunity to hold a demerger referendum on June 20, 2004, and voted to be re-established as a separate city, which became effective on January 1, 2006.

Kirkland is primarily a residential community, with a commercial core, and an industrial park straddling the Trans-Canada Highway (Autoroute 40). The city is composed of mainly single-family residences, with some multi-unit facilities (apartments, town houses, and condos) available.

Pierrefonds-Roxboro

Although now merged with the former city of Roxboro, the old Ville de Pierrefonds logo from 1999 is still in use for Pierrefonds-Roxboro, despite now being part of the city of Montreal.
