The ooter ring is componed o law-densitie municipalities locatit on the fringe o Metropolitan Montreal. Maist o thir ceeties an touns are semi-rural. Specifically, the term aff-island suburbs refers tae those suburbs that are locatit on the North Shore o the Mille-Îles River, those on the South Shore that war never included in the megacity of Longueuil, an those on the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Peninsula. Commonties in that aurie are informally referred tae as the 450 an aw, efter the telephone aurie code that haes servit the region syne 1998.
