Origin of the name Bonaventure

Giovanni di Fidanza (1221-1274) was a Franciscan monk, theologian, philosopher, and mystic, who was canonized as Saint Bonaventure. Rue Bonaventure or Saint-Bonaventure originally designated the length of today's rue Saint-Jacques between rue McGill and place Saint-Henri.

The old rue Saint-Bonaventure gave its name to Bonaventure Station, which was situated at Saint-Bonaventure and Windsor (now Saint-Jacques and Peel) and operated by the Grand Trunk Railway. The station was for decades a major hub for the transport of goods and passengers.

The memory of this station gave its name in turn to the Place Bonaventure complex, whose construction caused the original metro plans to be extended and a station to be situated underneath it. So from the street to the train station to the complex to the metro station, St. Bonaventure's name was perpetuated to the present day.
