Verdun, Administrative borough in Montreal, Canada
Description
Verdun is a borough stretching along the Saint Lawrence River with red brick triplex homes, busy commercial streets, and extensive waterfront parks and recreation areas. The neighborhood blends residential sections with public access to the river and local shopping districts.
History
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. This foundation shaped early settlement patterns that continue to influence the neighborhood's layout today.
Culture
Wellington Street shows the shift from a working-class area into a contemporary neighborhood where cafes, restaurants, and independent shops now define the street. You can experience how residents and visitors move between older commercial traditions and newer local ventures.
