Description


Lachine 1642 Lachine est l’une des trois premières paroisses de l’île de Montréal – la première en amont des rapides de Lachine – et la quinzième plus ancienne de la Nouvelle-France. Ce fut aussi, pendant longtemps, la tête de pont entre Montréal, les Grands Lacs et l’intérieur du continent nord-américain. C’est donc dire le poids patrimonial et généalogique que représente aujourd’hui cet Arrondissement. L’histoire lointaine de Lachine commence en 1534 lorsque François 1er envoie le capitaine Jacques Cartier à la recherche d’une route maritime conduisant vers l’Asie. Ce dernier est convaincu qu’en remontant le grand fleuve du Canada, il trouvera le passage recherché. Mais il fallait d’abord contourner cet obstacle majeur qu’était le Sault Saint-Louis : faire halte, décharger les marchandises, les entreposer, les transporter. D’où la nécessité d’établir des postes permanents en amont comme en aval. Ce sera Montréal en 1642, et Lachine, 25 ans plus tard, en 1667. Lachine, d’abord appelé Saint-Sulpice, était à l’origine un vaste domaine concédé à Robert Cavelier de La Salle pour y installer des colons et défricher la terre. Mais Cavelier ayant choisi de se lancer à son tour à la découverte de la route de la Chine, Saint-Sulpice fut, par dérision, rebaptisé Lachine, nom qui deviendra officiel en 1676 avec la création de la paroisse des Saints-Anges de Lachine. De la campagne à la ville L’histoire ancienne de Lachine est traversée de conflits – guerres amérindiennes et coloniales (1687-1714), occupation britannique (1760) puis américaine (1775) qui ne se terminent qu’avec la fin du 18e siècle. L’agriculture, le transport et l’entreposage des marchandises et des fourrures furent pendant longtemps, les principales activités économiques de Lachine. L’ouverture du canal de Lachine (1825), l’installation de la brasserie Dawes (1826), la création d’un corridor industriel entre Lachine et Montréal (après 1840) signalent la fin du Lachine rural, l’ouverture de nouveaux quartiers et la création d’une municipalité urbaine (1848,1872). La population est d’abord de souche française. Les premiers anglo-écossais commencent à s’installer autour de 1780. Le début du 19e siècle coïncide avec l’arrivée d’autres immigrants britanniques, surtout irlandais. Après 1860 et jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale, l’immigration se fera plus diversifiée : Italiens, Slaves d’Ukraine, Juifs de Russie, Syriens chrétiens, etc. Le fleuve fut d’abord la seule voie de communication, c’est pourquoi les institutions et les demeures les plus anciennes se trouvent au bord de l’eau, le long du chemin du roi. Nous devons au juge historien Désiré Girouard (1836-1911) d’avoir le premier, par ses ouvrages, signalé l’importance historique et patrimoniale des terres de Lachine et ouvert la porte à la préservation de ses nombreux lieux de mémoire et de commémoration.

Lachine is one of the first three parishes on the island of Montreal - the first upstream of the Lachine Rapids - and the fifteenth oldest in New France. It was also, for a long time, the bridgehead between Montreal, the Great Lakes and the interior of the North American continent. That is to say, the heritage and genealogical weight that this Borough represents today.

The distant history of Lachine begins in 1534 when François 1st sends Captain Jacques Cartier in search of a maritime route leading to Asia. He is convinced that by going up the great river of Canada he will find the passage sought. But it was first necessary to circumvent this major obstacle that was the Sault Saint-Louis: stop, unload the goods, store them, transport them. Hence the need for permanent posts upstream and downstream. It was Montreal in 1642, and Lachine, 25 years later, in 1667.

Lachine, originally called Saint-Sulpice, was originally a vast estate granted to Robert Cavelier de La Salle to settle settlers and clear land. But Cavelier chose to launch his own discovery of the road to China. Saint-Sulpice was, by derision, renamed Lachine, a name that became official in 1676 with the creation of the parish of Saints-Anges de Lachine.

From the countryside to the city

The ancient history of Lachine was crossed by conflicts - Amerindian and colonial wars (1687-1714), British occupation (1760) then American (1775) which ended only with the end of the 18th century. For a long time agriculture, transportation and warehousing of goods and furs were Lachine's main economic activities. The opening of the Lachine Canal (1825), the establishment of the Dawes brewery (1826), the creation of an industrial corridor between Lachine and Montréal (after 1840) signal the end of Lachine rural, And the creation of an urban municipality (1848, 1872).

The population is first of all French. The first Anglo-Scots began settling around 1780. The early 19th century coincided with the arrival of other British immigrants, mostly Irish. After 1860 and until the First World War, immigration became more diversified: Italians, Slavs of Ukraine, Jews of Russia, Christian Syrians, and so on.

The river was at first the only channel of communication, which is why the oldest institutions and houses are on the water's edge along the King's way. We owe it to the judge historian Désiré Girouard (1836-1911) to have first highlighted the historical and heritage significance of the Lachine lands by his works and opened the door to the preservation of his many places of memory and commemoration.
