Origin of the name Mont-Royal

Although at 250 metres many would call it a hill, Mount Royal dominates the skyline of Montreal. So named in 1535 by Jacques Cartier in honour of his patron King François I of France, the mountain in turn gave its name to the city. The mountain actually has three peaks: Westmount, Outremont, and Mount Royal itself. Mount Royal Park, the jewel of downtown Montreal, was designed by the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park in New York. Avenue du Mont-Royal is so called as it leads up to the foot of the mountain and the border of the park.
