Verdun, Administrative borough in Montreal, Canada

The borough extends along the Saint Lawrence River, featuring red brick triplexes, commercial streets, and extensive waterfront recreational areas.

The Fief of Verdun was established in 1671 when early settler Zacharie Dupuy received land grants and donated them to the Congregation de Notre-Dame.

Wellington Street manifests the transformation from a working-class district into a modern neighborhood with cafes, restaurants, and independent shops.

Four metro stations on the Green Line connect Verdun to downtown Montreal, with additional bus routes serving Nuns' Island and adjacent areas.

The Maison Nivard-De Saint-Dizier museum contains the largest prehistoric archaeological site discovered on Montreal Island, dating back 5,500 years.
