Auhaitsic Followed by Ahuntsic
Auhaitsic followed by Ahuntsic followed by Ahuntsic-Cartierville is now a borough with a reputation clearly justified when one looks at its waterfronts, its numerous parks, its cottages, its bungalows and its old and beautiful houses along the Gouin Boulevard.
Narrow passageways between or behind buildings called alleys along with paths lined with trees, bushes or stones are numerous in Ahuntsic as well as in Sault-au-Récollet, Saint-Sulpice and Bordeaux-Cartierville.
Ahuntsic Annexed to Cartierville
Auhaïtsic is the name of a young man who, in 1625, together with Father Nicolas Viel, a Récollet, was thrown, by the Hurons in the rapids of the Riviere des Prairies now called Sault-au-Récollet.
Once an independent village, Ahuntsic was annexed to Montreal in 1910, the year the newspaper Le Devoir was created by Henri Bourassa, journalist, politician and boulevard.
Ahuntsic Becomes Ahuntsic-Cartierville
In 1916, the Quebec provincial government ordered the annexation of Cartierville to Ahuntsic and to Montreal. In 2002, the 27 municipalities of the Island of Montreal merged into one big City of Montreal.
In 2003, the Parti Libéral was elected and a referendum took place in 2004. In 2006, 15 of the 27 municipalities of the Island of Montreal became independent. An Island of Montreal now home to one City of Montreal divided into 19 boroughs and to 15 other cities.
