Ville Saint-Pierre (French pronunciation: [vil sɛ̃ pjɛʁ]) is a small neighbourhood of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, located in the Borough of Lachine.
The town had an area of 2.15 square kilometres (0.83 sq mi), and a population of 4,739 in the last census (1996) prior to amalgamation.
[1] The area of Saint-Pierre was part of the Montreal Island Seignory that was granted in 1640 to Jérôme le Royer de la Dauversière and Pierre Chevrier, both founding members of Société Notre-Dame de Montréal, a religious organisation responsible for founding the settlement that would later become Montreal.
The Little Saint-Pierre River, now channelled underground, used to flow through the place that was known as Coste-Saint-Pierre in 1702, named in honour of Pierre Chevrier (1600-1692), priest and Baron of Fanchamp.
Its location along the Lachine Canal fostered industrial development, in particular manufacturing of wood pipes, aluminum, asphalt, and railway wagons.
