ORIGIN OF THE NAME

Louis-Tancrède Bouthillier's Outre-Mont house, on rue McDougall in the borough of Outremont

City (now Borough) of Outremont. In 1833, Louis-Tancrède Bouthilier bought a plot of land in the côte Sainte-Catherine, where he built a large brick house. As it was on the opposite side of the mountain from the town of Montreal at that time, he named it "Outre-Mont" (over the mountain). This mansion, which still exists today, in 1875 gave its name to the newly created then-Village of Outremont. The City of Outremont became a borough of Montreal in the municipal mergers of 1 January 2002.

TRIVIA

Plan of accesses to Outremont metro
Plan of accesses to the mezzanine in Outremont metro
This station was originally planned to have two accesses, the second kitty-cornered from the first at the opposite corner of Av. Van Horne and Av. Wiseman. This plan was abandoned before construction began, though it remained in consideration as a possible future expansion. It would have entered the station at the northeast corner of the mezzanine.
