Pointe-aux-Trembles

Pointe-aux-Trembles (French pronunciation: [pwɛ̃t o tʁɑ̃bl]) was a municipality, founded in 1674, that was annexed by Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1982.

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.

One can find a windmill, at the corner of Notre-Dame Street and Third Avenue, which was built in 1719.

The Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île (CSPI) operates Francophone schools in this area.

The community is served by the Pointe-aux-Trembles branch of the Montreal Public Libraries Network.
