Happy celebration year!

2024 holds special significance for Westmount as we commemorate the 150th anniversary of our beloved City.

“On December 9, 1873, a proclamation issued by René Edouard Caron, Lieutenant- Governor of Quebec, announced that from January 1 of the following year a new territorial and civic entity, to be named the “Village of Nôtre Dame de Grâce,” would be established to the west of the City of Montreal. This new unit, detached from the municipality and parish of Montreal, measuring roughly 5,000 acres, was carved out of the sprawling territories known as St. Henri des Tanneries. It was bounded to the east by the City of Montreal and part of the property of the “Gentlemen of St. Sulpice;” to the north by the municipality of Côte des Neiges; to the west by the municipality of St. Laurent and Lachine; and to the south by little Lac St. Pierre, also known as Lac à loutre.”

The parish area that became the Village of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce in 1874 was renamed Village of Côte-Saint-Antoine in 1890, Town of Côte-Saint-Antoine shortly afterwards, then City of Westmount in 1895.
