Montréal-Sud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montreal South (French: Montréal-Sud) was a former town located on the south shore of Montreal. Founded in 1906, the majority of its population were at the time, English-speaking protestants. This would change by the middle of the century, as Francophones became the large majority.
On January 28th, 1961, the city of Montreal South merged with the city of Longueuil, keeping the latter's namesake. The territorial limits of the town were from the St. Lawrence River in the north, to Bertrand Street in the south. It stretched from La Fayette Blvd. in the west, to Joliette Street in the east.
