History
Until the late 19th century, La Petite-Patrie was mainly agricultural, with the exception of limestone quarries , now the location of Père Marquette Park.
The construction of a tramway in 1892 linking downtown to Sault-au-Récollet led to the urbanization of the area, which continued until about 1930. It was still a predominantly-residential neighborhood since the only employment was concentrated along the railway, in the workshops of Montreal, or in the Montreal Street Railway .
