Sud Ouest DistrictVille Emard
At the beginning, in 1875, Cote Saint Paul and Ville Emard formed one community called the "Village de la Côte Saint Paul". Then, in 1878, the district located in the West called Ville Émard became a municipality. For many Montrealers, Côte Saint-Paul and Ville Émard are difficult to distinguish from one another. But the cadastre is definite, Briand Street serves as a parting line between “les rues droites” of Cote Saint Paul and "les rues croches" of Ville Emard. After the opening of the Lachine Canal, industries emerged at a frightening speed. Ville Émard, as well as all the neighbouring territories developed quickly because of the considerable amount of residents who worked in the local factories. In 1910, the old Village on Saint Paul Boulevard already offered the image of a flourishing territory. 
Some say that the Hamilton and Beaulieu Streets were the first streets of what was going to become the Ville Émard of today. Then, corner of Biencourt and Monk, hundreds of lovely houses can still be admired. Albert Millaire grew up in the neighbourhood. In 1929, close to what was then the end of the tramway line, an Italian family settled on Allard near Monk and created a recipe for hamburgers that is still popular in Montreal. Dillalo Burger has been in Ville Émard for 80 years now. Ask around and see if people know and like Dillalo burgers. You'll be surprised. In 1978, at one end of the green line, two new metro stations were built. The Angrignon station that gives access to a splendid park and the Monk station that remained the heart of the vicinity.
