Economic centre of Quebec,located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers surrounded by at least 70 islands, most of which are uninhabited,the beautiful and cosmopolitan city of Montreal offers visitors a wide range of attractions. The city is Canada's principal port and an industrial centre,commercial and cultural focal point of this Francophone Canadian State. Montreal hosts the largest Francophone community in the world after Paris and it is very much influenced by a strong and distinctive French culture.
The city stands out as the Canadian urban centre with the highest number of bilingual population.Multi-ethnic charm in the "Metropole," as the French call Montreal,a vibrant City life, friendly, has been designated by UNESCO "City of Design" in 2006, only North American city and third in the world after Buenos Aires and Berlin to receive this prestigious title. Fun, joy of life that is the motto of the city, catching and dramatic. Neighbourhoods like the Village are real concentrations of the fun that alternate with that of Mont Royal crowded with small libraries and artists, or the Chinese bounded by two arcs coloured. But above all, art galleries and design alternatives in the Village, in the tourist part of Old Montreal and quite experimental in Golden Square Mile, while the more scientific focus in the Olympic Stadium that hosted the Games in 1976, with the tallest inclined tower in the world and the island of Sainte-Helene, where stands the Biosphere at the Expo 67 presented to the public as part of the American pavilion, now a museum interpreting the St. Lawrence River.A mix of glass and steel skyscrapers appear behind ancient buildings and large public areas such as the International District, setting of modern urban space adjacent to the old city, home to buildings like the Palais des Congres de Montreal, the Convention Centre, with its glass colored in the interior of which the light of the day turns the floor in a real kaleidoscope. Walking through buildings with stone facades and glass extends up to ICAO headquarters with the Tour de la Bourse, the towering skyscraper work of designers Luigi Moretti and Pier Luigi Nervi still considered a masterpiece of the international style of design.
The first human settlements date back to Montreal in about 2000 years before the arrival of Europeans. The Island hosted some native tribes including the Algonquin, the Hurons and the Iroquois, but their population was poor. It was only in 1535 that a French explorer named Jacques Cartier arrived in the village of Hochelega and claimed the San Lorenzo Valley in the name of France.Another French explorer, Samuel de Champlain visited the area in 1605 and noticed that many of the Iroquois tribes had left the San Lorenzo Valley. This was perhaps due to diseases brought by Europeans and some fighting between the tribes. Champlain continued building a permanent French settlement in Quebec City and founded an outpost for trade in leather on the Island of Montreal at La Place Royale.
The city developed slowly since the Iroquois resisted foreign influences and tried to defend their land. In 1639, a French tax collector named Jérôme Le Royer obtained the title of Seigneurial Island of Montreal and established the first European settlement recognised. It was built a church and Roman Catholic missionaries tried to convert the locals.
The city was known by the name of Ville Marie became a centre for trade in leather and a base from which the French explorers ventured into other parts of North America. The city suffered constant attacks by the Iroquois until a peace treaty was signed in 1701. Montreal continued to be a French colony until 1760, when the Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnal surrendered to the British during the French and Indian War. The locals continued to live in the city submitted to the British Empire.Montreal recorded in 1832 as a city and enjoyed a period of rapid development. This was partly due to the opening of the Lachine Canal, which allowed ships to avoid the Lachine Rapids unnavigable and, therefore, linked the port of Montreal with the foreign market. The development of the city was also helped by the construction of Victoria Bridge, which transformed the city into an important railway centre.The economic boom attracted even more immigrants English and French and British groups became almost equal in magnitude. Montreal overcame Quebec City as the leading political and financial, and became the largest city in British North America and the cultural centre of Canada. It became the capital of the United Provinces in 1844 and held this position for five years until a mob opposed to the approval of the Act for damages caused by the Rebellion and burned the Parliament building.
The 2nd war had little effect on the city, except for the Conscription Crisis of 1944, when Mayor Houde Camillien urged residents to ignore the government's policy concerning the registration of all men and women. The government was forced to intervene and put Houde in a prison camp and put in place the draft.In the seventies arose other social issues, mainly regarding the concern of the French-Canadian population with respect to the preservation of their traditions and their language. The election of a separatist party had a great impact both politically and culturally, and many Montrealers of British origin if they left the city. Was introduced an act which established French as the language used in business communications and public signals.Growth was slow during the eighties and early nineties, before increasing again towards the end of the century.
