Le Sud-Ouest, Borough in Montreal, Canada
Le Sud-Ouest covers 15.7 square kilometers and contains several neighborhoods connected by the historic Lachine Canal, with a population of 78,151 residents.
The region transformed from farmland to an industrial center after 1825 when the Lachine Canal opened, creating water power for factories and transportation routes.
Little Burgundy neighborhood developed a strong Black community from 1887, while Saint-Henri maintained French Canadian roots and Griffintown preserved Irish heritage.
The borough connects to central Montreal through metro stations and major highways, including Autoroutes 15, 20, and 10, with regular council meetings at the borough hall.
The Bibliothèque Réjean-Ducharme holds the distinction of being Canada's first French language public library, representing the area's educational development.
