Montreal West, Residential municipality in Montreal Island, Canada.
Montreal West is a small residential municipality on Montreal Island that centers on tree-lined streets, local parks, and single-family homes spread throughout. The community occupies a compact area designed primarily for quiet residential living.
The area separated as its own settlement in 1897 with a small population and developed slowly over time into an independent municipality. A major change came in 2006 when it formally became an independent city with its own governance.
The population here maintains strong ties to English-speaking traditions that shape daily life and community gatherings. These roots are visible in how residents interact and celebrate together throughout the year.
Public transportation including bus lines and a local train station connects the municipality to downtown Montreal and surrounding neighborhoods. Visitors planning a trip should check which transit routes serve their intended destinations.
Since 1950, a local charity football game on January 1st has brought together neighborhood teams at the community's sports grounds. This tradition continues to be an important annual event that draws people together.
