Montreal, Canada

The Iroquoians Indians established the village of Hochelaga at the base of what is now known as Mont Royal, on the Island of Montreal. Montreal, Canada was originally named Ville-Marie or the City of Mary. Today, the name Montreal pays homage to the historic hill Mount Royal, also known as Mont Réal.
