The RCM was dissolved on December 31, 2001, when Saint-Étienne-des-Grès was transferred to the Maskinongé Regional County Municipality, the municipalities of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Pointe-du-Lac, Saint-Louis-de-France, Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap, Trois-Rivières and Trois-Rivières-Ouest were merged into the new City of Trois-Rivières, and the remaining municipalities became part of the new Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality.
Although the division no longer functions as a regional county municipality in the political sense, the amalgamated city of Trois-Rivières and the regional county municipality of Les Chenaux are still grouped together as the census division of Francheville by Statistics Canada for census purposes. The division had a population of 143,267 in the Canada 2006 Census.
