Rosemont District

The Rosemont district is located in the center of the borough and is bordered to the west by d’Iberville and to the east by Pie IX.

The commercial activities are scarce. The territory has one important commercial road, Masson with its local shops mixed with small apartment buildings and one small shopping centre, the Maisonneuve Shopping Centre on Sherbrooke.

As confirmed by the many Protestant temples, the neighborhood was once mostly English because then, most of its residents worked at the Angus Shops. Paradoxically, as the district grew, the Angus Shops lost their importance.

Since the closing of the Angus Shops in 1992, the population changed and is now mostly francophone and somewhat older and poorer than the rest of the population of Montreal.

During the recent years,
the cultural diversification has been increasing, but the district still shows many French characteristics because 80% of the residents are French.

The territory was agricultural before the opening of the many factories and it kept most of its old characteristics. Nowadays, the industrial park is mainly composed of textile and clothing factories and, to a lesser degree, of warehouses and wholesalers in the food industry. The park is concentrated along the CP Railways but, unfiortunately, it suffers from installation and integration problems.

Thank you for visiting the District.
More to come soon.
