Dundee is located in the southwestern corner of the Montérégie region of Quebec. The township is bordered on the south by the Canada–United States border, on the north-west by the Saint Lawrence River, and the Mohawk reserve of Akwesasne to the west. The Salmon River runs through the municipality in a northwesterly direction from the US border to the Saint Lawrence, where many islands also make up Dundee's total area.

John Davidson, considered the founder of the municipality, was an early settler along the Salmon River (Rivière aux Saumons). He was originally from Dundee, Scotland, and served as postmaster of the new settlement.^[1]

On July 1, 1845, the Municipality of Dundee was formed, but merged into the Municipality of Beauharnois Number Two on September 1, 1847 (along with Hinchinbrooke, Hemmingford, Godmanchester, St. Anicet, Russeltown, and Ormstown). It was reestablished on July 1, 1855. On March 15, 1969, it changed statutes and became a township municipality.^[5]

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Dundee had a population of 386 living in 168 of its 310 total private dwellings, a change of -0.3% from its 2016 population of 387. With a land area of 68.41 km² (26.41 sq mi), it had a population density of 5.6/km² (14.6/sq mi) in 2021.^[4]
