History
The electoral district of Hochelaga was created in 1966 from Mercier and Laval ridings. The name comes from a street running through the three neighbourhoods which is named after Henri Bourassa.
The name of the riding was changed to "Montreal—Bourassa" in 1971.
In 1976, Montreal—Bourassa was abolished when it was redistributed into a new "Bourassa" riding and Saint-Michel riding. The new Bourassa riding was created from parts of Montreal—Bourassa, Ahuntsic and Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies ridings.
