Definition
The largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec, located on an island in the Saint Lawrence River. Known for its French-Canadian culture and history.
Etymology
From French 'Mont Royal' (Royal Mountain), named by Jacques Cartier in 1535 after the hill at the city's heart, which he called in honor of King Francis I of France. The name gradually evolved to its current form.
Kelly Says
The city's name preserves a 16th-century moment when French explorer Jacques Cartier climbed a hill and declared it 'royal' - that spontaneous act of naming created one of North America's great cultural centers. The mountain still dominates the city's skyline today.
