Ontario Street (Montreal)
Ontario Street (officially in french: rue Ontario) is an east-west artery in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It crosses the boroughs of Ville-Marie and Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. In the latter borough, the street becomes a mix of residential and commercial and is known as ''Promenade Ontario''. History John S. Cartwright, a banker from Kingston, Ontario, and J. B. Forsyth, a local merchant, purchased and subdivided the farm of Sir John Johnson in the northern part of ''Faubourg Quebec''. They gave the three new streets the names of three different Great Lakes: Erie, Huron, and Ontario. Ontario Street was later extended in stages toward both the east and the west. Until 1948, it was believed that the street was named after the Province of Ontario, but the discovery of the subdivision documents by a city of Montreal historian corrected that inaccuracy. Although it had been known as Ontario Street since 1842, the name was made official only in 1867. The neighbourhoods that the ...
