Welcome to Montreal, Quebec, Canada

The native Indian settlement of Hochelaga was a trading post when Jacques Cartier planted his cross atop Mont-Royal. The first French settlers founded the colony of Ville-Marie in 1642 on the same site as Hochelaga only to rename it Montreal a few short years later.

A French settlement for most of its existence, Montreal is also the second largest French-speaking city in the world outside of France. Montreal was incorporated into the British Empire in 1760. Montreal is the second largest city in Canada with a population of over 1.7 million with 3.3 million in the greater metropolitan region.

Multi-cultural neighborhoods include Chinatown (between Coté and Saint-Laurent), Little Italy (bordered by the quadrangle of St-Ziotique), Jean-Talon Boulevard,(Drolet and Marconi), the Greek community of Park-Ex (Park Avenue), the Rainbow Village or simply The Village (along Sainte-Catherine, from Saint-Hubert to Papineau), the Quartier Latin francophone hub of Montreal located between Sainte-Catherine and Sherbrooke from Sanguinet to Berri) and Plateau Mont-Royal the trendy community of artistes and fashionable Montrealers located north of Sherbrooke and east of Saint-Laurent).
