History

Cartierville

Cartierville, named in the honor of Sir George-Étienne Cartier, became a village in 1906. During the December 1912, it achieved city status. Two years later, the rural and agricultural part of Cartierville was granted independence from the city and was then known as Ville de Saraguay. On the 22nd of December, 1916, the provincial government ordered the annexation of Cartierville to Montreal. Cartierville is part of the federal riding of Saint-Laurent—Cartierville.

Nouveau-Bordeaux

New Bordeaux (or simply Bordeaux) was originally part of the independent village of Cartierville until it became its own municipality in 1898. The district was originally named Saint-Joseph de Bordeaux (Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rivière-des-Prairies?) until 1906. One year later, Bordeaux attained city status. On June 4, 1910, it was annexed by the larger City of Montreal. The district was home to Maurice Richard, writer Claude Jasmin and Comte Daeylar.

Activities

Bordeaux-Cartierville features large parks along its riverside, such as Île Perry, which offer views of the river and of nearby Laval, Quebec. Marcelin Wilson Park, situated on L'Acadie Boulevard and further away from Rivière des Prairies, has an arena, a skate park, a pool, a playground, tennis courts and soccer fields. The district, as well as its borough, is also part of the Route verte project in Quebec, which is a group of bicycle paths allowing visitors to discover many of the city's attractions, both natural and human-made. The area was formerly the home of the Belmont Park amusement park.

Transport

As with most districts on the Island of Montreal, Bordeaux-Cartierville has good transport links to downtown. Buses, the subway (known as the Métro), Autoroute 15 and AMT trains make it easy to get around. Main boulevards include L'Acadie, Gouin, Laurentian and Salaberry.
