L'arrondissement doit son nom au Fort Ville-Marie, la colonie française qui deviendra plus tard Montréal (aujourd'hui Vieux-Montréal), qui était située dans l'arrondissement actuel. Le Vieux-Montréal est un lieu historique national du Canada.

Bienvenue dans ces passages verts qui offrent une véritable oasis de tranquillité.
L'ambiance de calme ombragé contraste de façon étonnante avec le passé industriel des lieux. Cette enclave résidentielle, coincée entre les tours du Centre Bell, au nord, Griffintown, au sud, et la Petite-Bourgogne, à l'ouest, a été construite en grande partie à la fin des années 1980. La photographie de gauche donne une bonne idée de l'ambiance du secteur à la fin du 19° siècle.
Parcourez les passages et découvrez une série de panneaux interprétatifs consacrés à l'histoire et au patrimoine bâti de ce petit quartier sans nom.

Le passe surprenant d'un petit quartier oublié

Encore très peu habité au début du 19° siècle, le quartier connait une forte croissagce à partir des années 1830, Les familles du secteur doivent toutefois parcourir près de deux kilomètres pour s'approvisionner en denrées fraîches dans un marché public. Malgré une pétition lancée en 1854, les autorités n'acceptent de construire une halle permanente dans le faubourg qu'en 1861.

Visualisez les images pour voir le marché de Saint Antione sur la carte de 1890 et une photo du marché en 1920. A l'aide de la carte, répondez à la question suivante ci-dessous : Quel était le nom de la rue où se trouvait le marché ?

Il y a 200 ans, ici même, coule à travers les champs le ruisseau de la Montagne. Il descend se jeter dans le ruisseau Prud'homme qui se dirige vers l'est. Ce petit cours d'eau alimente à son tour la rivière Saint-Pierre, qui elle, rejoint le fleuve à la Pointe-à-Callière. De plus en plus utilisés comme dépotoirs à ciel ouvert, les ruisseaux deviennent des obstacles au développement du quartier. La construction de la gare Bonaventure en 1847 entraîne la canalisation d'une partie du ruisseau Prud'homme. Dans les décennies suivantes, la Ville enfouit ces cours d'eau naturels et les intègre à son réseau d'égouts.
Petite anecdote: la rue de l'Aqueduc (Lucien-L'Allier) tire son nom d'un bref projet de distribution d'eau potable au tout début du 19° siècle. Des canalisations de bois apportent alors l'eau des pentes du mont Royal à une poignée de maisonnées bourgeoises du centre-ville, l'actuel Vieux-Montréal.

Du ruisseau à l'egout

À partir des années 1820, le quartier accueille des travailleurs embauchés pour la construction du canal de Lachine. Les élargissements successifs du canal et l'implantation du chemin de fer en 1847 confirment la vocation ouvrière du secteur. Quelques shops pour la fabrication et la réparation des voitures à cheval, un fabricant de meubles, un moulin à scie et une compagnie de câbles électriques comptent aussi parmi les employeurs locaux à la fin du 19e siècle.

La population initiale du quadrilatère regroupe une majorité francophone ainsi qu'une poignée d'anglophones d'origines irlandaise et britannique.

En 1870, la société Pullman s'établit près de la gare Bonaventure afin de gérer les voitures-lits et restaurants pour les chemins de fer canadiens.

Pullman recherche une main-d'œuvre bon marché. Elle fait d'abord appel, à des Noirs des États-Unis pour les emplois de porteur, cuisinier ou serveur. Seuls des Blancs occupent alors le poste de contrôleur, compte tenu de la ségrégation raciale. Ces immigrants noirs s'installent dans des persions de famille le long de la rue Saint-Antoine Ouest. Au ant du 20° siècle, de nombreux Italiens, attirés aussi par l'industrie oviaire, s'installent à leur tour dans le quartier.

The surprising past of a small, forgotten neighborhood

Still very sparsely inhabited at the beginning of the 19th century, the district experienced strong growth from the 1830s. However, families in the area had to travel nearly two kilometers to stock up on fresh foodstuffs in a public market. Despite a petition launched in 1854, the authorities only agreed to build a permanent market in the suburb in 1861.

View the images to see the Saint Antione Market on the map from 1890 and a photo of the market in 1920. Using the map, answer the following question below: What was the name of the Street the Market was on?

200 years ago, right here, the Mountain stream flowed through the fields. It flows down into the Prud'homme stream which heads east. This small stream in turn feeds the Saint-Pierre river, which joins the river at Pointe-à-Callière. Increasingly used as open-air dumps, streams become obstacles to neighborhood development. The construction of the Bonaventure station in 1847 led to the canalization of part of the Prud'homme stream. In the following decades, the City buried these natural waterways and integrated them into its sewer network.
Little anecdote: rue de l'Aqueduc (Lucien-L'Allier) takes its name from a brief drinking water distribution project at the very beginning of the 19th century. Wooden pipes then bring water from the slopes of Mount Royal to a handful of bourgeois households in the city center, today's Old Montreal.

See the photo of the station during the flood of 1886.

Take a selfie here to record how the place has changed over time.


From the stream to the sewer

From the 1820s, the neighborhood welcomed workers hired for the construction of the Lachine Canal. The successive widenings of the canal and the establishment of the railway in 1847 confirmed the sector's working vocation. A few shops for the manufacture and repair of horse-drawn carriages, a furniture manufacturer, a sawmill and an electric cable company were also among the local employers at the end of the 19th century.

The initial population of the quadrilateral brings together a French-speaking majority as well as a handful of English-speakers of Irish and British origins.

In 1870, the Chicago-based Pullman company was established near Bonaventure station to manage sleeping cars and restaurants for the Canadian railways.

Pullman was looking for cheap labor, calling on blacks from the United States for the jobs of porters, cooks or waiters. Only whites then occupied the position of controller, given racial segregation. These black immigrants settled in family homes along rue Saint-Antoine Ouest. At the beginning of the 20th century, many Italians, also attracted by industry, settled in the neighborhood.
