Mercier-Hochelaga-MaisonneuveMercier
Formerly one large territory, Mercier is the result of a reorganization of the Beaurivage, Longue-Pointe and Tétreaultville villages. Nowadays, two of the four municipal electoral districts are called Maisonneuve-Longue-Pointe and Tetreautville. The district is named after Honoré Mercier, Premier of Quebec from 1887 to 1891. Before becoming part of the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, the territory was a peaceful countryside where settlers arrived around 1665 and where, years later, cows spent their time looking at passing trains. The transformation of the territory from a rural to an urban neighborhood started in the 1950s but, unfortunately, in the middle of the 1960s, the territory was literally cut into two with the construction of the Pont-tunnel Louis-H. Lafontaine and the Autoroute 25. Both now form two rather difficult barriers to cross. 
The heart of the village and of the old district, that is the church, the old town hall and the surrounding local stores were completely destroyed and it deeply transformed the community. But, the recent urbanization of this old peaceful countryside gives this part of the borough the look of a prosperous suburb, even if poverty is also present among the wealth. Thank you for visiting Mercier. M-Est
