The most important city of the province of Quebec, but not its capital. It occupies all the Île de Montréal(or Montréal Island), the biggest island of the Hochelaga Archipelago, at the confluence of the St. Lawrence River and the Ottawa River. In 1535, Jacques Cartier visited the native village of Hochelaga on the slope of what he named "Mont Royal, "but by 1608, year of the foundation of Québec, all the Iroquoians were gone. At the same location, Ville-Marie was founded as a missionary colony by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve in 1642, though it was not until the conclusion of the "Grande Paix"(peace treaty) of 1701 that the colony stopped living in a permanent state of war. The establishment became the great centre of the fur trade and a starting point for expeditions by the coureurs de bois and voyageurs of the time. Trade from the port and agriculture on the surrounding plains contributed to the development of the city. By the 1820s, its population outnumbered that of the city of Québec. A dynamic merchant class began to invest and "St. James Street, "now "la rue Saint-Jacques, "became the country's financial centre. Around 1831, large-scale immigration enabled the population of British origin to be the majority in the city but, at the time of Confederation in 1867 and after, the francophones were again in the majority, gradually making the city the centre of the French culture in America. Erected as a municipality in 1832, the city underwent a steady growth with the addition of the territories of 35 towns over the years. If Toronto grabbed the title of "Business Capital" by the end of the 20th Century, Montréal remained the "Metropolis of Canada. "In 1996, the metropolitan region grouped some 111 municipalities located on three of the islands of the Hochelaga Archipelago, Montréal Island, Jésus Island and Bizard Island, and, on the South Shore, the city of Longueuil and the seven others that were to be part of it on the 1 January 2002, the cities of Boucher...

In Canada (with seven exceptions as of December 31, 2004), the name of an inhabited place has the same form in English and French, which form is listed in the Gazetteer of the province or territory in accordance with the inscription in the Incorporation Act of the entity. This rule also applies for the historic designation of an inhabited place, even if the designation is not or no longer gazetteered.

OBS

The "city of Montréal" is the geographical entity: "The city of Montréal takes its name from a contraction of the name given to the mountain by Jacques Cartier in 1535, "Mont Royal", while "City of Montréal" refers to its governing body or administrative instance.

OBS

The inhabitant of Montréal is a "Montrealer" (since 1919), man or woman. The name of the city always takes an accent while the demonym, taking an English form with the addition of an English suffix, is written without the accent.

La plus importante ville de la province de Québec mais qui n'en est pas la capitale. Elle occupe l'île de Montréal, la plus grande des îles de l'archipel d'Hochelaga, au confluent du fleuve Saint-Laurent et de la rivière des Outaouais. En 1535, Jacques Cartier visite le village autochtone d'Hochelaga sur les pentes de ce qu'il nomme le mont Royal, mais en 1608, à l'époque de la fondation de Québec, tous les Iroquoiens ont disparu de l'emplacement. Le sieur Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve y fonde, en 1642, Ville-Marie, une colonie missionnaire chargée d'évangéliser les «Indiens», mais seule la Grande Paix de 1701 permet à la colonie d'échapper au climat de guerre dans lequel elle doit vivre. L'avantageux emplacement du site en fait un centre de la traite des fourrures et le carrefour des coureurs de bois et des explorateurs. Le commerce et l'agriculture qui se fait sur les plaines environnantes permettent à la ville de se développer. En 1820, elle devient plus populeuse que la ville de Québec. Son dynamisme fait que s'y installe le centre des affaires du pays, sur la «St. James Street» d'alors, devenue la rue Saint-Jacques par la suite. Vers 1831, l'immigration massive permet aux habitants d'origine britannique de devenir majoritaire, mais, à compter de l'époque de la Confédération en 1867, la population francophone redevient supérieure à la population anglophone, la ville devenant le centre de l'expression de la culture française en Amérique. Érigée en municipalité en 1832, elle prend des dimensions imposantes à la faveur de 35 fusions de villes réalisées au fil des ans. Si, Toronto lui ravit le titre de «Capitale des affaires» à la fin du XXe siècle, elle conserve celui de «Métropole du Canada» et de «Ville aux cent clochers». En 1996, la région métropolitaine comprend environ 111 municipalités, celles occupant l'île de Montréal, l'île Jésus et l'île Bizard de l'archipel d'Hochelaga, et, sur la Rive-Sud, la ville de Longueuil et les sept autres [...]
