Saint-Michel, Montreal

Saint-Michel (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ miʃɛl] ⓘ) is a neighbourhood in the Montreal borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension.

Its boundaries correspond to the former city of Ville Saint Michel, which was annexed to Montreal in 1968.

This formerly independent city was known as Saint-Michel-de-Laval from its inception in 1912 to 1914 and Ville Saint Michel from 1914 to 1968.

Called "Montée Saint-Michel" as early as 1707 and then "Chemin de Saint-Michel" or "Chemin du Sault," it was the main north–south axis of the area, leading north to Côte-Saint-Michel Road (now Crémazie Boulevard) and Sault-au-Récollet.

The boulevard, officially established in 1938, gave its name to the former municipality (and now district) of Saint-Michel, Montreal.
