Laurier Park

For over a century, this lot was occupied by the Dubuc and Limoges limestone quarries. The stone from the quarries, for which Montreal was famous, was used in many local buildings and monuments, including Notre-Dame Church and Bonsecours Market.

Families soon settled nearby, and the Village of Coteau Saint-Louis was born. In the late 1800s, the City of Montreal purchased the depleted quarries and used the area as a dump. The park you see before you was created by the City in 1925.
