Sud Ouest DistrictCote Saint-Paul
Only sixty years after the foundation of Ville Marie, Cote Saint-Paul, now part of the Sud Ouest borough, appears on a map of the island of Montreal dated October 1702. In 1800, the territory was a quiet village located between Lachine and Saint Henri des Tanneries. Fifteen farms were established on both sides of what is now the St-Patrick Street. 
The Avenue de l’Église commemorates the Église Saint-Paul, a catholic church, and is one of the oldest roads of the territory. Its layout is reproduced on a chart dated 1834. The Avenue de l'Église was then the only link between the actual St-Patrick Street and the Lasalle Boulevard. In Verdun the road was once called Pavilion Street, then Church Street, then Avenue de l’Église. Today, the population of Côte Saint Paul located between Ville Émard and Saint Henri is mainly French, includes a certain number of immigrants - the immigrants living in the Sud Ouest borough mostly come from China, Italy and France - and is somewhat disadvantaged.
