History

Laurier Avenue was originally known, in the 1870s, as St. Louis Street in the old village of Saint-Louis du Mile-End, which later became the City of St. Louis (1875-1909) and Coteau St. Louis (1846-1893). After the annexation of that village to the City of Montreal in 1899, it was decided that the street name should be changed to Laurier Avenue in honour of former Prime Minister of Canada Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
