History

During the earlier part of the eighteenth century, farmland running in strips across the top of Mount Royal was the origin of the divided lots that are covered with homes today. It was during the early part of the last century that Westmount experienced its first large population and development boom, which included the first civic public library in the Province of Quebec in 1902.
