History in Montreal

Montréal, founded in 1642 on the St. Lawrence River in present-day Canada, layers its history across neighbourhoods, transit stops, and skyline landmarks. Metro stations such as Berri-UQAM, Beaudry, Atwater, Beaubien, Bonaventure, Bois-Franc, Assomption, and Brossard trace the city's expansion across eras and communities. Towers like 1000 de La Gauchetière and 1250 René-Lévesque mark the economic ambitions of the late twentieth century. The Biosphère on Île Sainte-Hélène stands as a remnant of the 1967 World's Fair, while Bonaventure and the Bell Centre anchor the city's evolving downtown core. History here runs above ground, below it, and across the water.
