L'Amoreaux is named after Josue L'Amoreaux (1738–1834), a French Huguenot loyalist who settled there. The area is a suburban residential neighbourhood predominantly of single-family detached homes and townhomes, dating from the late 1950s, as well as some mid to high-rise apartment buildings and condominiums. The area contains many tree-lined streets, huge sidewalks, and winding roads. The eastern edge of the neighbourhood is known as Clarks Corners.
