History

The land where this street is located was donated by Hubert-Joseph Lacroix (1743-1821), whose family settled on this street, and was officially laid out in 1826. The large residences built here in the second half of the nineteenth century, mainly by the French-Canadian elite, preserve the character of the street's residential origins to this day.

The artery was the site of the Montreal Eucharistic Congress in 1910, which ran between Saint-Antoine Street and Cherrier Street.

The first St-Hubert restaurant was opened on this street in 1951.

Between de Bellechasse Street and Jean-Talon Street, the street becomes an outdoor plaza,[1] with the sidewalks protected from the elements by a glass roof.

gollark: Obviously you should avoid pointing guns at yourself if possible, but accidents happen so things like "safeties" exist, even if they make it mildly slower to shoot people when you actually want to.
gollark: Guns things which exist.
