Pointe-aux-Trembles

Pointe-aux-Trembles (French pronunciation:) was a municipality, founded in 1674, that was annexed by Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1982. This was the last city to be merged into Montreal until the 2002 municipal reorganization. On January 1, 2002, this neighbourhood at the far east end of the Island of Montreal became part of the borough of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles–Montréal-Est. On January 1, 2006 Montreal East demerged, and the borough became Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles.

A windmill located at the corner of Notre-Dame Street and Third Avenue was built in 1719. Its three storeys make it the tallest windmill in Québec that still stands. In 1650 the Grou family of Rouen, France, established a land holding here.

A Roman Catholic sanctuary dedicated to reparation to the Sacred Heart and honoring St. Padre Pio is located in Pointe-aux-Trembles.
