Information about Hochelaga (village)

This article is about the village. For other uses, see Hochelaga.


Hochelaga was a St. Lawrence Iroquoian fortified village near present-day Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its first European contact was by a French expedition led by Jacques Cartier in 1535, who named a nearby mountain Mont Realis. The village still existed when Cartier revisited the region as few years later, but had disappeared when Samuel de Champlain arrived in the early 17th century. Champlain and his companions eventually began settling there, founding Ville-Marie in 1642. This became the present-day city of Montreal.

Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is now a neighbourhood of Montreal.
