Montreal
Although Montreal's history goes back long before Jacques Cartier
"discovered" the island in 1535, the intrepid explorer
can certainly lay claim to being the first European to see it from
the top of Mount Royal, the city's centrally located mountain park.
Amerindians referred to these grounds as "Hochelaga,"
and used the island as a meeting place where tribes could discuss
trade and other important matters. The official founding date for
Ville-Marie (later to become Montréal in honor of the King
of France) is May 18, 1642, at which time Jeanne Mance and Paul
de Chomedey Sieur de Maisonneuve came ashore with about 40 colonists
and proceeded to drive out the Iroquois.
