7. There are 50 National Historic Sites of Canada in Montreal, the most of any Canadian city. The first was so designated back in 1920, even though there was no remaining physical evidence of its existence. Which one?
From Quiz Montreal, Québec's Metropolis
Answer:
Hochelaga Village
Jacques Cartier documented the existence of Hochelaga Village near Montreal's present site, in 1535 and possibly-although accounts vary on this point-again in 1536. According to his notes, the village was populated by the Iroquois tribe and had about 50 longhouses housing around 1500 people. He revisited the area in 1541 but did not mention Hochelaga by name in his log of that trip. A later French expedition, in 1603, found the village deserted. It is not known why the Iroquois vacated the settlement, but the time frame was consistent with a general exodus of the tribe from the area, because it had been excluded from a trade agreement between Europeans and other native groups. No trace of the village survives, and the sole documentation of its existence are the relatively brief notes about it in Cartier's papers. On the strength of those notes alone, the area was the first designated National Historic Site of the Montreal area.
Trafalgar Lodge was added to the list of Historic Sites in 2009 due to its design. It is an example of the Gothic Revival style, which is not common in Quebec.
Mount Royal Cemetery was designated a historic site in 2009 because of its design features and a variety of markers, which serve to illustrate the city's cultural, social and historic qualities.
Merchants Textile Mill, designated an historical site in 1989, was the second-largest textile mill in the country from 1899 to World War II.
