LaSalle, Administrative borough in southwestern Montreal, Canada
Description
LaSalle is an administrative borough in southwestern Montreal that stretches along the St. Lawrence River and features a network of green spaces. About 25 kilometers of bicycle paths connect residential neighborhoods and parks, creating corridors through the urban landscape.
History
The area began in 1668 as a fortified settlement established by early European arrivals and later became the western end of the Lachine Canal. This location made it a key point for commerce and travel between the city and territories further west.
Culture
The Fleming Mill, a four-story windmill standing in the heart of the neighborhood, reflects the agricultural roots that shaped this area over time. Walking past it today, visitors can see how farming and milling once drove the community's growth and identity.
Practical
The Carrefour Angrignon sector serves as the main shopping hub, with stores and services concentrated in one accessible area. From here, visitors can easily reach the bicycle paths and parks scattered throughout the neighborhood.
Did you know?
Three waterways converge in this borough: the St. Lawrence River, the Lachine Canal, and the Montreal Aqueduct that carries drinking water to the city. This rare combination of water routes shapes the geography and look of the area in unexpected ways.
