Like the name suggests, Old Montreal is the oldest section of the city of Montreal, Canada. As such, the neighborhood brims with history.
History
Founded in 1605 as a fur trading post by the French, Montreal quickly blossomed into a vibrant colonial city. In 1763, the city came under British rule following the French and Indian War. With its heritage as both a French and British colony, the city has a unique character, as one of the few North American cities with a cultural heritage from two distinct countries. In more recent years, Montreal has experienced a small separatist movement, desiring independence from Canada as Montreal relishes its unique French heritage.
