Ville-Émard (French pronunciation: [vil emaʁ]) is a neighbourhood located in the Sud-Ouest borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
This neighbourhood is bordered by the Aqueduct Canal to the east as far north as Desmarchais Boulevard where it meets Côte-Saint-Paul, after which the eastern boundary runs north along Monk Boulevard to the Lachine Canal, the community's northern edge.
Ville-Émard was originally part of the concession of Côte Saint-Paul, granted by the Sulpician Order, seigneurs of the Island of Montreal, in 1662.
[3] The Lachine Canal brought numerous factories to the region, drawn by the availability of transport and water power.
The core of the modern-day neighbourhood, a farm belonging to W. B. Davidson, was sold by his widow Ann Ryan to entrepreneur Joseph-Ulric Émard.
